[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 566384, member: 1521"] I'd go no bigger, or less standard, than 260 I also do not agree with the notions of muzzle brakes for recoil reduction. Regardless of the hype, actual recoil happens, and the added noise and pressure felt from a muzzle brake(after mass recoil) INCREASES the impression of overall recoil(subjective recoil) while providing only a reduction in muzzle rise.. You don't want the shooting experience to be bad for a kid, right? I would also provide the most accurate gun for a kid within your means. Kids hold very high shooting potential. Their eyes are better, they haven't yet picked up bad shooting habits, they adopt a consistent 'routine' right off the bat. Get the best **** trigger available, the best scope, ammo, barrel, and a stock that is right for the kid(drop, comb, pull, etc). You want this kid to hit what they aim at, right? Add 5mins of attention to the moment a kid understands that their skills exceed a gun's potential.. I don't know if you reload, but this is an excellent discipline for some kids. Big factor in cartridge choice. [/QUOTE]
