I'm not sure if I'm going to let Skintback carry a gun this year. If I do, it will be a 410.

My son will be taking his 300 BLK again this year. Last year, at 6 years old, it was his first year hunting. He ended up with two does and an 8 point and missed one doe. Figure if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Savage axis 7mm-08 for my 10 year old little boy ,and Browning Xbolt 25-06 for my 11 year old little girl

243 in my family

308

private land it doesn't matter. I think it does matter on public land though. Seems like 10 round mag is still to much but cant remember for sure. I bought some 10 round mags anyway to hunt with, just for weight, and didnt want to bump mag if shooting out of shooting houese.

I looked and couldnt find anything about mag capacity, maybe that was an old law or something.

Until recently the magazine capacity on public land was 10 rounds. That may have changed in the last two years, but not much longer ago than that. Private land anything goes. That said, there are plenty of 10 round mags available that fit nearly flush in an AR. They are easier to hunt with as they are less likely to knock/catch on clothes, brush, or shooting house window sills.

13 yrs old has no problems with his 30-06 with 150 gr corelocks

mine started on a .243 then one got a .308 and the other a 7mm-08

I think it depends on the WMA. Skyline state 11 rounds or less. Get a 10 round mag regardless if you hunt public or private land. Like has been stated, it makes your rifle handle much better in the stand.

Since you already have the AR platform, check out a 6.8 upper before you buy a 243.

My daughters started shooting 7-08 managed recoil 3 years ago. Moved to standard last year. One is now shooting a .308 managed recoil.

.308

I'm originally from the Northwest so my go-to is the 30-06. I'm just used to it (having grown up hunting everything up to large elk) and, even though it sometimes seems like overkill down here, I don't usually worry too much about shot distance and put-down power. Would someday like to move toward a .308 or .270 because of their advantages over the long-chambered and sometimes heavy 30-06.

Two girls 12 and 10 . The oldest shoots a 257 Roberts, youngest shoots a 6mm.

6.5 Grendel, daddy might carry it some too, lol

7mm-08 with my hand loaded barnes ttsx!!

7-08

My daughter will use a Model 7 .243

The oldest shoots a .308 with standard velocity rounds and the younger ones shoot .270's with Remington managed recoil rounds (while hunting). Practice is with the same .270's, shooting 100 grain bullets loaded down really slow and super light recoil.
