[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2965451, member: 122164"] Consider his length of pull and his strength to hold up a full-size rifle as the first things to address this issue. By the age of 14, he will have changed a lot. I would refrain from getting a rifle that just beats him up in recoil, as unintended consequences may happen. Whatever you get him, get him to the range and shoot often which will be incredible "quality time" for the both of you. Model 7's in 7/08 with a Gentry muzzle break is what we now start our young members in the family out with. These rifles are not too heavy for them to handle and feel confident with. Peltor Tac 6 electronic ear muffs add a new dimension to hunting for youngsters. We spend a lot of time with the youngsters with bolt action single shot and tube feed 22s and 22 Magnums. Shooting at animal crackers glued to cardboard at 50 yards is a good time at the rifle range! Then move to the 1 3/4 mini clay pigeons at 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
