[QUOTE="shorthairman, post: 249497, member: 6223"] I'll start by saying that I am by no means a rifle guy and my knowledge is fairly limited... Both my kids both started with 22-250 and I did not care for that as it has such a small bullet and if shot placement is not ideal, then you might have trouble. I know a family that has 9 kids who hunt and they all started with .223s. Again, small bullet and shot placement is critical. I moved both my kids to .243's and I felt much better using bullets twice the size as the 22-250, and the kids did great with those guns. Highly recommend a .243. They are fast and flat shooting, plus you can get quite a range of bullets for them so you could put more fur friendly bullets in it if you want to call fox or coyotes. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
