[QUOTE="jrthomasjr, post: 1642158, member: 74052"] In the TX Youth Hunting Program ([URL="http://www.tyhp.org"]www.tyhp.org[/URL]), we keep rifles available for kids to use for various reasons. They're all .243 or .22-250, and all of them I've seen are Remington 700 in plastic stocks with the non-glare finish. I've lost count of how many kids I've had to put behind one of these rifles because the parent brought them with a rifle that used a .30-06 parent case or larger, even as light as .270. I've seen .308 produce the same issues, but not as often, and I've seen .243 cause issues because of poor gun fit or a scope without enough eye relief. We let them start in the program at 9 years old, and some of them aren't up to handling the recoil of the traditional starter guns. We start them in blinds, so a heavier rifle is a good thing there.
