[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1640684, member: 55944"] 12yr olds can be drastically different in size and stature. When I was 12 I was 5’9” and 140lbs but my buddy’s daughter is 12 she is 4’6” and 60lbs. Rifle fit and Recoil is the main concern you have. I’m building my kids a 6mm br to start out with. It’s like a miniature 243 win. My kids are still young, my oldest is 7, and she can’t hold a regular weight rifle off hand because she lacks the strength. The rifle has to be lighter than usual, which means more recoil, therefore I’m scaling back the cartridge. If your grandson is the size of a man it doesn’t really matter what you start him on but if not, you don’t want to induce a flinch by giving him a hard recoiling rifle. [/QUOTE]
