[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2429520, member: 8907"] That is a good factory option [B]IF [/B]you can find one in stock somewhere. They are built on the 7.62x39 chassis and are a sweet option if a bolt action like that is something you want. My Remington bolt action 300 Black Out is a soft shooter as well and with my suppressor is a totally tame option that is very hard on predators around here. You mentioned 6TCU. I was looking at one out of an AR-15 for a pseudo-Winchester 243. I'm really thinking I want a 257 flavor for projectile selection and a bit more payload. I'll throw out a really out-of-context option for a really young shooter, how about a ~$450 204Ruger bolt action? Not really a deer hunting round but, for a really young lightweight hunter, that little laser is a ton of fun. For fond memories when he is an old man himself, I'll throw out a recommendation for something you don't see at your normal sporting goods store. Something like a 257 Rigby is a caliber I would happily use today, in fact, I'm looking for one right now, and it is plenty of rifle for most deer-sized hunting and feral hogs at reasonable distances. Keep velocity and bullet weight on the low side and rifle weight on the not super-lightweight side, and your youngster will have a much better time at the range or out in the field since muzzle report and recoil will be much lower. As he gets older, you and handload some stiff and more powerful bullet/powder combinations. [/QUOTE]
