[QUOTE="Qzilla, post: 177454, member: 6073"] Here is what I did for my 3.5 yr old!! I took a TC Contender, yes the old one due to weight. I suppose a G2 would work as well. I cut the stock down and use the min. barrel length required by law. This gun is chambered in 223 and I use a special load that Shawn Carlock helped me to develop. I also had Shawn fit one of his brakes on it. The gun also has a Kick Eeze or however you spell it pad on it. To test the recoil, I fired the rifle with the pad against my lips. Nothing, been hit harder by a grandma!!! Now, if you do not like 223, you should be able to take the same idea and run with it. I think the TC is the perfect rifle to start with. It is light weight, inexpensive (relatively) and you could make it any caliber you want. I highly recommend Shawns brakes. I have tried tons of brakes and for some reason his just abosultely work better and muzzle jump is non-existant. I have confirmed kills on close range Axis deer and Whitetail deer with the light loaded 223. It is all about shot placement. Also, to take the fear out of getting hit with a scope I used an aimpoint type device with 0X magnification. Doing this allows almost any head position to work and you can use as much eye relief as possible. [/QUOTE]
