Wetfinn Report post Posted March 29, 2020 I have my son's Remington 783 in 308. 3x9 scope. 3 magazines. He killed his first deer with it using the hornandy youth loads (125g). It is up in Idaho. I come down to the valley to work in Sells, AZ every month. I could have it down there in a few weeks if interested. $400. He has outgrown it and is ready for a Tikka 30-06. 2 Years old. About 200 rnds through it. Mika Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjvcon Report post Posted March 30, 2020 I am a big believer in the 7mm-08. Both boys had one as a starter. Big enough for deer and elk (at the right distance). Good ballistics. I know LARK hated them … but I am a fan. Buddy of mine has a custom 7-08 he shoots WAAAAAAY far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have one in a 280 Ackley and another in a 270 WSM. But as a youth gun it is a good little rig, and was perfect for them to start on at 9 years old. My buddy just wanted a light, short little Coues gun … he did his research and settled on that caliber, for what reason I can't say. Some B!tc# will shoot though … Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
