[QUOTE="Elkeater, post: 1772763, member: 103670"] So I bought a used savage model 10 awhile back with the plan of turning it into a kid rifle. My oldest is 6 and getting pretty good with her .22lr and my AR in 5.56. Basically I’ve been slowly ordering parts for this bolt gun savage build here and there and it’s time to order a barrel. I’m ordering a criterion from NSS but I’m not sure in what cartridge yet. It’s a kid gun to be used on hogs, coyotes, whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope, Texas exotics like axis deer and similar size critters, as well as steel our range has steel capacity out as far as 1000 yards. I was looking at a 6mm Creedmoor or 243 but I’m not set on those. Was also looking at a light Palma contour but not sure about weight. Needs to be a short action action cartridge and I want it to be light enough for a kid to manipulate but heavy enough to sit still. So the question is, what cartridge, twist, and barrel contour and length? Also probably put break on it? (Not sure what’s worse for kids loud noise or more kick) [/QUOTE]
