Little Ones First Rifle.

[Billboy]

Model 7 youth 243 with 90gr accubonds. She has taken several deer and none went more than a few feet. Electronic hearing protections is great and allowed me to coach her through the shot.

My youngin totes a cva youth single shot 243. Great simple safe ambidextrous little rifle. He's takin several deer with it. I would suggest thinking about a 7mm08 instead of 243 whichever rifle you choose. Similar recoil and you get a 30 cal bullet with 7mm08. Bigger hole = better blood trails if they don't make the best shot.

Close, you actually get a .284 cal bullet. the 308 has the 30 cal bullet.

A 7mm/08 is a 308 case necked down to accept a 7mm bullet which is .284 diameter.

Started my boy out with an AR in 6.8SPC. The 6 position stock allowed it to grow with him until he could handle a full sized bolt gun.

That's exactly what I did it worked great. I eventually got him a Browning Micro Midas .308. I loaded some light 110 grain Barnes rounds that had very light recoil. The worst thing you can do is put them on too much gun too soon.
