Like what I heard you all saying about the red dot scopes and eye relief. I have one here at the house I may have to put on my granddaughters rifle.
Havnt heard to much about the AR (black) rifles with the collapsable stocks. Not sure what rifles, other than the ARs and a few shotguns you can put them on. Any suggestions?

Are you referencing the red dot or the collapsible stocks? Heck, if I could get a collapsible for a Rossi, that would be great. It could be a shooter for all sizes of kids then.
EDIT: Just found it...anywhere from 52-70 bucks. Looks like Im gonna get one. One dealer even has a recoil pad with it. Should be able to use it w/ the 22/243/20ga. Hoping that even my 4yr old grandson can shoot it.

Got my daughter a H&R 7mm-08 youth model and cut another inch off the stock. The factory recoil pad will mount back up after pre drilling for the screw holes. I loaded up some 120 grain Sierra Pro Hunters at a reduced load. Recoil is minimal. We put a bi-pod on it and eye relief was still a concern so I put a burris Timberline Scope on it which has up to 5" eye relief. She took her first deer with it this year at age 7. She loves shooting the gun.

Both my boys started and one still shoots a .243 IMO absolutely the best and most accurate round available for kids.

LOL, Not in my eyes. I have compared both side by side on the bench and the .243 is more accurate with less recoil. Then we took the kids hunting, and once again the .243 outperformed the 7mm08 in the field as well, with better performace, better knockdown power/blodtrails, with similar shots.
Its funny you posted this, as myself and a friend took 4 kids hunting on a juvenile hunt just a few years ago. I had 2 shooting a .243 and he had his 2 grandkids shooting the 7m08. We went to the range and shot both guns together, then the kids all hunted the same farm in KY together on the hunt as well. He no longer owns a 7m08 if that tells you anything about the results we had over 4 days, starting at the range and ending with deer on the ground. I was actually really surprised with the 7m08, as i was expecting much more out of it. I have another friend that hunts a lot and shoots even more, he is constantly trying new calibers and actually does some testing for 2 different ammo companies, and I wasnt surprised when he later told me that he had tried 2 different 7m08's, with a variety of ammo, and was disgusted as well and moved on to another caliber after marking that one off as undesirable!
