A couple weeks back I asked for info regarding a great starter gun for my son. Like always, the forum came through and we went out and purchased a used 44 mag Handi-Rifle. My son was pumped about it, but it really didn't fit him, so we purchased a youth stock. The gun is still a little heavy for him but that isn't an issue because he can use a shooting stick. He has been on me for the last couple days about shot ting it. So yesterday I took a half day at work and decided to take him out. He has shot a 22 and my 17, but nothing larger. By the time I got home, he was ready to go and asking how far away the farm is we are shooting at. He had his rubber boots on ready to go! We loaded up the truck with the guns and ammo and headed down the road. The farm was muddy as can be, but that didn't matter...he was ready to shoot. I broke out the 17hmr and he shot 10 shots. He said I'm ready for my gun now dad. So I grabbed his 44 and some 44 special. I took the first shot as we had not shot the gun yet and I wanted to make sure it was functioning properly. So I set him up in the chair, like we would be hunting and set the shooting stick up for him. He leaned back, found the target and pulled the trigger. Wham!!! He drilled the target... The excited from him was certainly a "proud daddy" moment. He continued to shoot a few more of those and says, I'm ready for the magnum dad! I went and grabbed the 44 mag and loaded it up. Here is the video from him slinging the 44 mag!! youtu.be/fgV6LNs-jhUAll, thanks for the suggestion on the Handi rifle. He and I love the gun. It fits him nicely. Mike

I've sighted in a couple of them in 44Mag. They shoot very well.

My son has one of those dbd870 sighted in 44 mag Handi-Rifles. He really loves shooting that guy. Haven't taken any deer with it...yet. But we will get there.
Glad you are both having fun with it.
