can i handle it?
just got my first moose this season with my 30-30 single shot. Anywho My 30-30 seemed to lack knockdownpower and 4 my second moose i want to take a bigger caliber. My dad this year wants to try me with a 308 semi, but im only 14 and weigh 80lbs. anyone think ill be able to shoot this gun comfortably? thanx.........

I think that maybe a little too much for yah i think a 30.06 or a 7mm would be just enough for you, more kick then a 30-30 but put the right recoil pad on you should be good to go but i guess the same could be said about the 308 but the best thing to do is if you can test it oout before you fully commit to one.

neither the 30-06 or 308 kick hard. I have both calibers. The 30-06 shoots flatter while the 308 has been known to open the groups while taking longer shots. 30-06 is the way to go due to the ammo being readily available and cheap.
