Youth model recommendations.

We played around with both the X-Bolt Micro and the Vanguard compact.  Both were outstanding!  If either would come out with a stainless model we would own at least one of them.

I did get the daughter put in for youth cow tags this year.  If she doesn't draw we probably won't elk hunt.  Okay that was a lie we will at least go for a long weekend.

Why is it that the 260 is so hard to find in a reasonably priced youth/lady's gun?  One would think it would be the perfect crossover caliber.

That's what I picked up for mine. Not cheap though in a ruger!!
It's a small stock but I've carried it on occasion as well

Remington model 7 compact with 18.5 inch barrel in 7mm 08. Topped it with a Leupold 2-7 with Leupold rings and bases. Rifle is also available in 20 inch barrel. I have about $900 into the entire package, but it's quality and will last a lifetime. For perspective my daughter in pic is a huge 3rd grader.

If anyone can rotate my pic please do. Thanks!

Go with the Rem model 7 in 7mm-08, yoj won't regret it.

Mossberg 100ATR youth in 7mm-08.  Comes with a stock spacer for when they grow.( my daughters 7mm-08 will stay short like her though!) Cheaper than any mentioned yet and has dropped her 3 bucks from 85 to 300 yards.  We do down load the cartridge though.  If you don't reload I'd start 'em off with a .243.

My family uses a Model 7 in .243. Daughter is put in for a cow tag. If she draws, she will probably use that .243. I could let her try the wife's 7mm-08, as it has very light recoil. I do not want her recoil shy though, as the 7mm-08 is harder kicking than her .243. She is not afraid of her .243 at all.

x-bolt micro midas in .243.  just over 6 pounds, 3-pos safety, just over 12" LOP.......would be a sweet rifle

For all you guys getting the young ones out hunting, way to go. Great that you are fitting them with guns that work for their size.
