With the wife at the nail salon, my 13 year old son and myself hit the range and as usual we took his single shot .22lr Remington Target Master (he's owned it for 4 years now) and my 9mm Hi Point Carbine. On the way home we talked about shooting, the other guns we saw at the range and what gun he would like next. As a kid who plays the latest video games, I was fully expecting him to say an AR15, AK47, Steyr Aug or something else modern and tactical. To my surprise, he wants a bolt action rifle. Which leads me onto my question, what would be a good calibre to buy him where the recoil won't put him off shooting the rifle and he enjoys practicing with it, but one that he'll still be able to use to hunt with for years to come.
Any advice is greatly appreciated
