[QUOTE="pmh-usa, post: 753948, member: 25707"] I'm in the same boat as you - got grandchildren from 10 - 3 and if I have anything to do with it they'll be hunting and fishing. I'm just finishing a 250 Savage on a Rem 700 short action and a 6.5 x 47 Lapua on a Rem Model 7 - both of these are in lightweight, shortened stocks with light sporter contour barrels. The 250 will shoot 100 to 120 grain bullets and the 6.5 will shoot 100 to 130 grain bullets. Both are very light recoil and the ability to grow heavier loads as the kids grow. I already have a 6.5 x 55 that I'm loading lighter loads but it is a larger rifle and too long for a 9 or 10-year old starting to shoot. I love a 308 but a heck of lot more recoil especially if you scale the weight and size down to fit the little shooters. Good luck what ever you choose. [/QUOTE]
