[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1987505, member: 1656"] My daughter went on her first deer hunt at 9yo. She was very recoil sensitive so I took my 6X45 22" sporter barrel out of my McMillan stock and dropped it into a Boyds At-One as that was the shortest LOP I could get on short notice. Mounted the scope further back than normal as it was still a bit long to get proper eye relief. Fit her decently. Put a Heathen brake on it, now it has zero recoil. With 85gr Partitions it's a sufficient starter 100yd deer gun. She'll be taking it on her second hunt tomorrow. Her 8yo brother goes on his first hunt the following day, he's been shooting 3" 100 yd groups off a folding chair and a tripod. When they get a bit bigger and can handle some recoil I'll move them up to a 243 or 7mm-08 or something like that. I build all these Remage, if you can bed a stock no need for a custom gun to get them started. [/QUOTE]
