I don't deer hunt. Used to but lost interest many years ago. My 12 year old son has been asking about deer hunting. Looking at getting him a rifle so I can take him deer hunting next season.
Any thoughts on a caliber and specific rifle? I was thinking about a
6.5 creedmoor. He have some timber to hunt so shots won't be much more than a 100 yards but we also may hunt in more open terrain with shots out to 300 or so. He shoots left handed so I know that likely limits my options. Not looking to spend a bunch of money on a rifle and scope. I see Savage makes a left hand model which comes with a Nikon 3 x 9 scope. It is reasonably priced but not sure if there are better options out there for about the same price.
