Looking for a rifle for 9 year old....Bergara

[ShaneTyTrey]

Looking to build a rifle for my son, planning on topping it with a vxiii 30mm cds scope I have.  Question is what Rifle, I am looking hard at the Bergara's and want to know who has experience shooting them and what they think.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

You might talk to this guy.

I have no experience but they seem to be gaining traction.

I’ll second this, no shooting experience, though I have handled them and talked to the rep at SCI last year and they seem like a solid choice.

I have been eye balling one of these for a while. They are getting good reviews from shooters I've talked to and are often recommended much more than rem700's.....even from the rem guys!  They are a rem700 foot print so that opens a lot of options for upgrades in the future.

You might take a look at the new savage 10s with the accufit stock. The rifle can grow up with your son.

I don't want to crap on Mike's rifle he's got for sale, because that's a sweet rifle I wish I could justify, but you're talking about a rifle that is pushing 12 pounds all up. Not ideal for a kid.
