BEST YOUTH RIFLE FOR SMALL KID

(1/8) > >>

TeacherMan:
My 9 year old will start deer and elk hunting this next year with me and she is TINY. She’s about 49” tall and about 60 lbs (scale batteries died 😂). Anyways I’ve been looking for a deer rifle that has a length of pull around 11.5”. Looking for a .243, possible 7mm08. Open to single shots even.

Ideas?

As a dad of small shooters myself I recommend a Ruger American compact in 7/08 for the win.

 :yeah: and add a clamp on Witt Machine muzzlebrake for a great all around kids gun. That's what I did with the one I setup for my kiddos. I could meet up with you and let her shoot it to try it out the next time I visit St. Maries.

I’ve looked at that rifle and it’s very tempting. I was hoping for .5-1” less on the length of pull. Maybe I’m just setting her up to grow out of to fast though.

Shoot me a pm if you’re ever headed this way I’d love to actually check it out and let her try it!
