[QUOTE="scoober78, post: 2661354, member: 117733"] Ok all...My daughter is 10. She's been shooting for about 5 years, almost exclusively rimfire. (.17 and .22). She has put about 30 rounds through a light (5#) .410 with 13/16ths TSS with three dead turkeys and no issues. It's deer time. Her measured LoP is Right around 12.5"... She's interested in shooting, but not yet obsessed. In looking at her first center fire rifle, I'm thinking 6.5 Grendel or .243. I have contemplated the AR platform but am leaning towards a bolt gun. I really do like the east LoP adjustment afforded by the AR though. Stumbled across the Howa Mini EXCL platform here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://gunsmagazine.com/discover/howa-1500-mini-excl-lite/[/URL] Seems an interesting solution. Any first hand experience? Am I overthinking this and I should just get her a Savage Axis II compact and move on? Love to hear the feedback. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
