RE: 30-30 anyone?
Browning Micro-Hunter A-Bolt in 7-08.
Pricey, but a beautiful gun, lightweight, a gun that will last him a lifetime.
I don't like the idea of starting youngsters out with a lever action with half-cock safety (that's the hunter safety instrut. coming out of me).
And I have to concure with First-shot on the choice of caliber. One of my hunting buds shoots this caliber and I've had caliber envy for sometime now.
