I would not consider a 710 for a minute.770 for 2 minutes.Savage or Marlin, yes.In re cartridges, you can always move up in power but a flinch from shooting too much power lasts a long time and will always be in the back of their minds..243 is a good starting point, 7-08 is the best all-round cartridge there is (that will start a little conversation!).308Win is a great all-round setup.Do not buy too much cartridge for the kid.
