What caliber should I get if I am elk,bear, and whitetail hunting. I'm 12 and I want to
know what caliber to get to hunt those animals.

remington has a youth 30.06 Might be a little to much power for a 12 year old tho......

Hey I can shoot up to a .300wsm

Sence I said I can shoot up to a .300wsm. I know ya'll wiil say get that, but
the I can't get is because we already have them is a .270, .308. .444, .300wsm.

If you're talking Black bear, elk, and whitetail, I'd say a .30-06.

30-06 is a great all around gun . I have dropped deer hard . Even seen elk , and bear drop with that caliber . I dont think a 12 year old could handle a 30-06 . Just ask your dad and he'll help you get find perfect fit gun for you . Good luck

7mm rem mag
my fav
dropped moose in their tracks one shot
hardly any kick

whatever you feel most comfortable with...

A thirty caliber cartridge would be good. A 30-06,300wsm,300win,300wby.Heck.......you could even take a 280 ,but it would be better to take one of the 30cals I listed.I think many people make the mistake of giving young people light compact rifles.If the person is really too small to use a standard sized rifle ,then fine,go for it.After all,fit is important.But just remember that the lighter the rifle,the more kick.A 5lb 30-06 kicks much more than a 8lb 30-06 with the exact same load.

my fav gun would have to be the 30-06 packs a punch but little kick a 12 year old could handle that. my brother is 10 and he shoots it all the time.
