375 H&H? That's what people go on African safaris with!
I think that's way too much gun for a kid.
I mean, why go with a 37 caliber rifle when you can easily ahnnilatea deer with a 24 caliber(.243)?
I think getting a 375 H&H would just be a waste of lead,brass,
and the kid's arm muscles for whitetail hunting.
Ewig316,don't geta 375, get a .243, or a .308, on which you can use reduced recoil loads if necessary.
I've heard great things about the 7mm-08, and I myselfam itching towards getting one,
but I would stick to a .243 or a .308 just to keep it simple.
