Best gun for small youth.

[10 POINT]

I bought my grandson a H&R Handi-Rifle last year in .243, youth model with a short stock and a bull barrel, put a Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 on it and it is a tack driver. One of the best feeling and shooting rifles I have ever shot too.

p.s. I got the one with the wood stock instead of synthetic to add a little extra weight and lessen the recoil.

Cva scout in 7mm-08 is what my 9 year old shoots. Fits him perfectly and shoots sub moa groups with factory ammo.

I would get something in a 7mm08 or 308, so you can shoot heavier bullets as soon as he adjusts to the recoil, but easy to shoot reduced recoil lighter loads initially still with larger bullets than 243 if you have a marginal hit on an animal

Youth model Ruger American in 243 is what mine are starting with on deer

x2 on the Ruger American in .243 or .270 my preference would be .270 but the .243 is also excellent. My son has owned both and both will kill deer. The .270 carries more confidence to longer ranges.
