[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 1658021, member: 11011"] I have a 6 year old grandson , that I want to get shooting some this summer . I'm thinking I'm going to buy a 22 marlin bolt action . he can learn to work the bolt ,and load the magazine. I think I should be able to cut down the stock to fit him . as he grows I'll add to the stock with maybe something like the McMillan spacers . this is my plan so far . a couple years ago , I did get him a center fire rifle , I just couldn't pass it up . on one of these forums I ran into a 260 rem at what I thought was a good price . trued action , Shilen barrel , B&C stock . it's a really nice rifle , and it shoots well . I've done a little work on it ,rebedded it the bedding was failing , I put a wyatts extended box in it ,and I lengthened the throat . the factory trigger is way to light for a new shooter , so I bought a Shilen trigger for it . I found a hough stock cheap , so that is the one I'll cut down for him when he is ready to start shooting this rifle . another good topic Remmy ! I'll be watching this thread to see what other guys are using for the new young shooters . [/QUOTE]
