Thanks for all the input gentlemen. It's appreciated. I'm still on the hunt. Shopping for my nephew, he's 9. I'm leaning towards .44 or .357, just seems to be slim pickins and the few I find are a bit out of my price range (which I'm beginning to think I'll have to give in to). Everyone seems to be holding on to their H&Rs. Not a lot of those CVA Scouts on the used market and new they're out of my price range. I know those .410 Rossi sets are very affordable, but I've read they're not great for slugs and some of them can't be scoped (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm thinking I'm just going to have to keep saving and go at it again when I have an over $300 budget.
