[QUOTE="ElCidAviator, post: 2751416, member: 119571"] I just had a similar dilemma come up with my 6 yr old and 10 yr old both wanting to hunt this year. My 10 yr old is a great shot, but my 6 yr old can’t hit the broad side of a barn, or so I thought. I test fit them with an Sig Cross at the local Bass Pro and quickly picked up a used one in 6.5 CM. I load 120 gr Sierra Gamekings at 2100fps and they both are hitting a 3 inch target at 100 yards. They shoot it suppressed so there is very little recoil. I’ll start upping the charge weights to get a little more velocity, but I like the low recoil so they don’t start building bad habits. The youngster was perfectly capable of being a descent shot, but I never had a rifle that fit him well enough to shoot. The adjustability of the Sig Cross stock makes all the difference in the world.
