I also spotted the shooting lefty thing..... now a single break open works well for a lefty....and will really teach the young fella to pick his shot and make it count.....you can down load a .308 using TB and cast till recoil just isnt there...and have a heap of cheap fun...loaded slightly hotter will take care of many critters with still stuff all recoil....and he wont out grow rifle later...... that begera in forsale section...just the ticket...
