[QUOTE="fly2cast, post: 249488, member: 656"] in my opinion, whatever you go with don't go with a model just because it's light. Light guns will kick more and I'm guessing you probably will be sitting rather than walking so weight is only an issue when walking to your sitting spot. Have had four kids go hunting since they were youth and none have complained about a regular size, "heavier" gun. The only time its an issue is at the gun range where you have to make sure they have padding on for the recoil. I bought a 30-06 last year and was concerned that it was going to kick too much for my kids (the youngest was 11). They gun is a little over 8.5 lbs with scope. Everybody told me that 30-06s kick like a mule but honestly I didn't think it kicked any more than my 6mm and none of my kids complained about shooting it. Its a Weatherby Vanguard. Great gun. Picked it up at Scheels for $450 on sale. [/QUOTE]
