[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1640813, member: 66917"] I know the traditional dogma is to reach for the small cartridges like a 243 or a 6mm Rem for kids, but this is a long range website so I'll make an assumption this rifle might be used in a long range shooting situation. If your are willing to run a brake or suppressor sky's the limit for cartridge. Anyone can handle a 7 Rem Mag for example with a brake, and it's a very good proven long range cartridge and ammo for it widely available. You can even get it in South Africa without a lot of effort. If you pick a rifle with Tikka or Rem 700 type type action you can easily re-stock it in the future when the child grows. There are tons of low cost quality stocks out there for Tikkas and 700 style actions. A wood stocked rifle would be easily modified to fit the child initially. There are other choices that have adjustable stocks like the Bergara B-14 HMR, which comes in 7 Rem Mag and is brake and suppressor ready. Is hefty to blunt some recoil. Fits all standard 700 stocks, and scope bases. Also, it has a 1 MOA guarretee. I also feel like it's a good idea to give an inexperienced shooter more energy at the target in case their aim isn't as precise as it should be. It's the whole a .410 is an expert gun verses a 12 gauge is not. [/QUOTE]
