[QUOTE="Paul Spaulding, post: 2395494, member: 104571"] I just bought a Savage Axis XP Compact in .243 specifically for youth use. I am VERY impressed with. The trigger was the one downside (no AccuTrigger), but even with an 8 lb pull, I was still able to sight it in with sub-1 inch groups. I spent $20 on an mCarbo spring kit for the trigger, and the pull dropped to 3 lbs. With a 3x9 Weaver scope pre-installed, the rifle was $375 out the door. So for under $400, I have a sweet-shooting.243 with a reduced LOP that a kid can beat the crap out of without me wincing every time it’s bumped on a tree or rock. [/QUOTE]
