[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 566442, member: 10832"] Is he going to be carrying this gun a long ways? If so a light weight gun needs to be considered which will drastically change the cartridges you should look at. If not then you can go a bit heavier and get a larger cartridge. I personally don't like muzzle brakes for kids but that is just me. +1 to the Howa Youth models. You get a short and standard LOP stock and a very good gun! All of mine have great crisp 2lb ish triggers with great accuracy. The 260 Rem or 6.5x55 would be a nice starting point IMO. Great BC's, SD's, and potential accuracy, and very low recoil. If you go with a light gun look at the 243, 25'06, 257 Roberts with partitions or interbonds. The 7mm-08. 308 are obvious great cartridges as well. [/QUOTE]
