[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1598563, member: 7999"] Went through the same decision with my daughter. This was before the 6.5 Creed. I chose the 7-08 in a vanguard youth model that came with 2 stocks. Before we made bullets I loaded her with 130g AB's. She killed a pile of mule deer. Never got an elk, which killed her because her little brother shot one every year. Lol. She still carries that rifle at age 23 loaded with our Hammer Hunter 131g at 3100 fps. She has since shot elk with this combo. Consider it good to about 450y. I started my Son with a 6.5-06. About the same as a 6.5-284. These are about the same comfort level to shoot but bring much more to the table than the Creed. I think all that have been tossed around here are good choices. As stated earlier. Make sure it fits. Get the length of pull down to about 12" and the young hunters will be in great shape. [/QUOTE]
