It's time for my soon to be 10 year old to get his own deer rifle. Any thoughts on the .308 youth models out there? I've heard great things about the Savage Accutrigger. My son has one in .22 rimfire and loves it. Which ones are made in USA? Thanks for any suggestions.
If you don't handload,I wouldn't go with a .308. The recoil in the youth rifles is pretty snappy. I watched a poor 10-11 year old kid at the range a couple years back that was shooting a .308 in one of the Handi-rifles. I felt sorry for the little guy,that .308 was kicking his azz.
My 9 year old shoots a Remington youth ADL in .243,he and his 7 year old cousin wanted to shot every last round I had for it last year.
I almost bought him a Weatherby youth model. It was cool because you get two stocks with the Weatherby. A shorter youth stock and then a full sized one as well.
I couldn't pass up the deal on the Remington though. On clearance at Wal-mart.
