Looking for specific make and model suggestions for both rifle and shotguns for a 9 soon to be 10 year old. Want to get him started on deer and upland birds.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

i started out with a H&R handi rifle in 243. that is what i shot my first deer with. my wife and brother both shot there first deer with that gun as well. great beginner gun, and pretty good little shooting rifle.

I bought both my kids (12yrs and 14yrs now...) Mossberg 20 gauge pump shotguns, youth model 500 with a stock piece you remove now, then reinstall later as they grow...

I also found a Savage .243 with accutrigger (model 10?) for the deer hunting, (had to buy two of these for my rugrats) figured it would make a nice varmint rifle when they outgrow the caliber...and move to a larger gun for deer and elk later.... My kids are wickedly accurate with this lightweight rifle...

If I have to keep buying things two at a time, I am going to be broke soon...  :'(
