Default RE: Gun for my son??

ORIGINAL: BigKoz

I am looking for some feedback. My son is 13 years old and will be hunting gun season next year. I want to get him his 1st gun for christmas. What should I get him? I am thinking a rifle such as .243, .270, .308.Thank you for helping me out.
out of what you mentioned, the .243 has the less recoil and is more than sufficient enough for any size whitetail. the .25-06, .270 and .308 all have pretty much the same recoil.
