[QUOTE="chucknbach, post: 738828, member: 35487"] Keep in mind they are small and light with a 16"barrel which equals to a lot of muzzle blast and jump, recoil also is higher. They are pretty vicious in that department. I wouldn't recommend them unless you want to do a little work and reload as the .243 I got my daughter last year was a pain to get to shoot under 3" at 100yds. Pillar and glass bedded, Timney trigger with the right load turned it into a very acurate gun. It shoots better off a bi-pod than bags, I figure it's the extra weight. It still won't shoot factory ammo. They are however one of the cutest and smallest rifles you'll ever see. I just want to make a key chain out of it. 11 1/2" LOP and you'll have to cut as youth rifles usually start at 12" on up. The next youth rifle I get will be an AR10. [/QUOTE]
