Need some help figuring out a Rifle/Scope question. I currently have a Ruger M77 with a 3x9x50 Nikon Buckmaster.
I am looking at a Weatherby Vanguard Youth 7mm-08 for my 9 year old son. He has shot a youth 243 and my 30-30 and does not seem to mind the recoil.
I am trying to answer 2 questions:
1. Should I transfer the Nikon Buckmaster to the Weatherby Vanguard (I have no pressing need for the 300WSM - a bit big for white tail) or is there a better scope choice.
2. Is it o.k. to skip the 243 and buy the 7mm-08 for my son? I know my son & it will be only a year or two before he wants a bigger caliber. If the 7mm-08 is a bit much for him this year I have access to a Remington Mohawk 243 at the lease.
Thanks for the help.
