My older Son and I have been discussing a "first rifle" for his 14 yo Son, my Grandson.
Years ago, hunting deer & hogs mostly in South or Central Texas; I standardized boys & I to Remington Mod 7's in .243. We have been very happy with these little, very handy bolt guns.
Son has decided to start my Grandson on a Remington Mod 700 in .270 Win. No one else in our group has a .270. We all use .243 or .308. Son based this on advice of a couple "armchair experts".
What do you-all feel is the best for this?
Or, more honestly, help me push the .243 Win. !
