[QUOTE="HuntnPack, post: 2682552, member: 42721"] Things I’d recommend you consider if the rifle is for a youth. Ear Protection !! 1) stock fitment, natural, comfortable. Maybe adjustable for comb height & length of pull. 2) weight: don’t go too lightweight 3) optic fitment 4) lighter bullet weight in the 6.5 PRC, or opt for lighter recoil ie: 6 or 6.5 creed or the likes. 5) Recoil & Concussive blast reduction, suppressor works best for this. Get a good 30 cal. model suppressor. & one with max db reduction. I don’t recommend brakes for their concussive blast to the shooter, even with ear pro. 6) teach good shooting form, habits, dry fire drills. & trigger control. 7) lots of positional practice. 8) hunter’s safety course. Make it comfortable & enjoyable. ** side note: be cautious if you are both going to be shooting the same cartridge. Easy to make a mistake & grab the wrong box. Be Safe !! [/QUOTE]
