Found this site while doing research. Thanks for any suggestions.
She is just recently 13 and has outgrown her NEF .243 single shot. She got that one at about 8 years old and I had the stock cut back a bit and a nice recoil pad added as well. Will pass that one along for some younger family members to use. She did a great job shooting the NEF 243 in Texas for deer and hogs.
Her current LOP is 12.5 inches. Probably looking at a 7mm-08 because we might want to do an elk or similar hunt when she is 16.
I have been thinking about...
* Browning X-bolt (maybe micro midas)
* Savage Youth version that has Accutrigger.
* Howa Youth 2n1
Any ideas?
There is also the Tikka, Ruger, Remington etc
Combo scope versions can be controversial but I am thinking of maybe upgrading the scope next year. The Howa seems a good combo.
Thanks!
