Robinson446 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Im 15. baught my own 410 single shot shotgun when i was 13. Used maybe 5 times. Perfect condition. No rust, Little to no scratches. Will post pictures if intrested. looking to trade it for a rifle. Probably a 243 or a 270. Would really like a 243 though. Let me know what you have guys. Thanks.

steve863 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I am not a big fan of the .243. You are 15, almost a man. A .270 is a whole lot better in my opinion and not very difficult to handle at all for someone your age. You will be pretty much set forever with the .270.

You will be pretty much set forever with the .270. i agree a .270 will be a good all around calibre that will be good for the rest of your life. a .243 is a limited calibre.

Bballhunter11 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Im with you guys on the 243 only looking to limit your self with that gun at 15 only thing u can shoot is deer or smaller game. U might not think u will ever go after anything else but u never know. As far as a recommendation im going to say the 7-08 would be more than perfect for a 15 year old looking for a versatile rife. Alot of knock down power with little recoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 It is funny to see these threads on the deer rifles. I find it amusing that the ones everyone talks about are rounds based on those two old work horses...the .30-06 and the .308. I love both rounds and they have been modified into some of the finest rounds out there. I really think for deer sized game and below you can't go wrong with any rifle based on either one of those casings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyantler Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Can't go wrong with an 30-06... you will have it forever and can use it for just about any big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr.deerslayer Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 There's nothing wrong with the 25-06 either, awesome knockdown power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bballhunter11 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Culver totally agree with u that anything based on either of those cartridges is a great rifle my main gun is a 30-06 and has ended many hunts successfully for me but for the average 15 year old they would be better off with something with a little more mild recoil and Robinson doesnt sound like he has shot that much yet. Always reduce recoil in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I agree...but in the 06 family...25....270...30 with reduced recoil loads......or in the 308 family...243.....7mm08...280...or 308....with reduced recoil loads....if I had to recommend just one rifle for a kid I would say 270...if the 30-06 scares him. I like the 7mm08....but every gun shop in north america will have 270....or. 30-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinson446 Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 alright. thanks guys. Anyone got anything they are willing to trade? i will also throw in a black powder. its a black & diamond, 50.cal Thompson center fire. No scope on it though. Shot MAYBE once.

the blur Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 .243 will take any deer, and exit with a hugh wound. bambi won't know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 looks like everyone has a favorite, but no one has one to trade. I am much older than 15, and I use a 25-06 with 115 grain bullets. No need for anything else. Now, if you want my opinion, scope the black diamond, and shoot a hornady xtp bullet in a decent sabot, and hunt anything you want to. Lots of knock down power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bballhunter11 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I agree with bubba on this one why trade the muzzleloader keep it and only having one shot can make u a better shot and is plenty accurate for longer shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinson446 Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 The reason im trading the MuzzleLoader is because i have another one my grandfather gave to me.
