[QUOTE="Good, post: 526953, member: 18866"] IMHO, .243 is the way to go. Shoot and shoot and shoot and when the barrel is shot out, set it up as a 243AI with a 7 twist and shoot the 115 to 117g bullets. This caliber shoots almost ballistically equivalent to the 6.5x284 out to 1k. This is truly a caliber that is able to grow with the tike, enjoys great ballistics, has mild recoil, is compact and light, ammo is available everywhere you can buy ammo, and there's a bunch of load info if you want to reload for it. If it were me, I'd look into an inexpensive Savage model like this one for learning on, the step it up to custom after the learning curve slopes off. [url=http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/finder/]Savage Arms > Firearms > Gun Finder[/url] Wal Mart has a similar model, with the Accutrigger for $400 +/-. That's where I'd go with this situation.:) [/QUOTE]
