[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1909342, member: 31749"] You and I are at the same point, my 9yr old connected on steel with my 6.5 Creedmoor a little over a month ago and still talks about it non-stop. Here’s my experience/work so far on getting a rifle set up for mine: I found a Manners MCS-CS with an adjustable cheek riser on Snipers Hide, it’s the absolute perfect youth stock, and now deciding on caliber; 22 Creedmoor is very high on the list. My main issue (dont know if you’ve had a similar one with yours) is that anything with a barrel longer than 16” is pretty much going to have to be shot off a rest until he gets bigger. The Creedmoors (22, 6, and 6.5) all seem to perform better than you would expect in a 16-18” barrel, but I’m also thinking of just going 308win and then downloading it until he grows into it. Other idea I have been batting around is doing a Rem-age so that we could swap the barrel to something more powerful as he grows into it. Either way, congrats to your little man, he’s never going to forget this moment. [/QUOTE]
