azdbackfan Report post Posted August 1, 2013 Looking for a youth rifle for my son who is 10. He got drawn for deer (junior hunt). This will be his first hunt. Would like to get a caliber that he could potentially use on a juniors elk hunt in the coming years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trophymountman Report post Posted August 1, 2013 I have a savage 110f (i think) that you may want to consider. This rifle has a cut down thumbhole stock, leupy bases and rings, a cheap scope and is well used by countless kids. I have owned it since 1980. I has shot well in the past(750+yds). Collecting dust now. It's in Flagstaff....$175.00 James @ 928-606-6101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjvcon Report post Posted August 1, 2013 If you want something to shoot both deer and elk with look to a 7-08, 308, or 270. You will probably have to put a brake on any of those for a 10 year old, but they will all work well. Lots of good manufacturers, but I really like the stuff Tikka is putting out for the money. Their T3 Super Lite Stainless is very lightweight and has a great trigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
