First things first:
please accept congratulations for a newborn son.
I like Your rifle and caliber choice and the reason behind the choice.
I personally agree with .243 statement - don't know why but I always imagine that cartridge lying next to the lipstick .... and even the lipstick looks more dangerous than winchester
On the other hand a friend of mine hunts wild boars and red deers with it. But the perfect shot placement is necessary.
Regarding Your way of thinking, please allow me to add:
- Do not even think letting Your little boy start with .22lr! This would be just nonsense.
- I strongly suggest: ignore earmufs and suppressors! - these things are for sissies.
- A friend of mine hunts with Sako Deerhead in 6.5 CM, but the animals make like ten to twenty paces after being shot, so it seems pretty much useless.
Hope that these advice will be helpful when put this (Your) way
