I’m a military guy, and all my guns are AR-15s and AKs etc. I don’t hunt.
My 16 year old son, however, is a little Fudd, thanks to my brother-in-law, his uncle. They go deer hunting in West Virginia.
So, I’m humbly asking y’all Fudds for a recommendation for a deer rifle my son can use on these trips.
My criteria are:
1. Legal for deer hunting in West Virginia.
2. Lightweight, say less than 7 pounds.
3. Reasonable recoil for a boney kid who weighs about 100 pounds.
4. In a caliber I already stock which would be .223, 7.62x39, 5.45x39, .308, 300 Blackout or 6.5 Creedmoor.
5. Less than $1000.
I’m thinking a Savage 11/111 in .223. Opinions and other suggestions welcome.
Thanks!
