I already have a Rifle put aside for my eldest Granson if he ever gets into Hunting

He's only 3 months old ATM.

It was my Fathers hunting rifle.

The day before Dad died I told him I will keep it safe and pass it onto one of my Grandkids one day.

He was very happy with that.

Cheers

Buy him something quality but don't put it away. Use it then it will have a history. He can say this was dads and he used it a lot we used it together and now its mine.

I Have no kids but my nephew will get my 20g Beretta 687 SP3 when he is old enough, in the mean time I ill be using it.

I even purposely got some 28g inserts. Better than a 410 to learn with!

Have no kids of my own to spoil so lucky him.! In fact eventually he might even get all my rifles / shotguns and assorted stuff

Hope not I am still working on adding to their history, hopefully he won't be ashamed of me being his uncle.

If your nephew doesn't take up hunting, I could do with an uncle
