You cannot beat an H&R single shot for kids in a .243. They struggle with accuracy on alot of guns becasue they can't hold up the weight in the front. .243 single shot in a synethic stock, kids shoot like experts. Great first gun and they can still use them to whack yotes after they get bigger.

As a kid it was natural to hold the gun as a lefty for me but my dad taught me to shoot right, which didn't take long and I'm now glad he did it. Way more options for shooting right and kids can learn rather easily since they have not yet developed habits, you might consider it as well.
