It is a 700 ti in .260 (the best all around youth caliber imo)
I ordered a youth stock and cut it down then had the break installed.

Boy, that 18" barrel on that Ruger would SHORT...My daughter uses a Ruger M77 Hawkeye 7mm-08 compact with a 16.5" barrel, killed her whitetail at 285 yards, one shot! They are surprisingly accurate little rifles. :tup:

My kid (11-14 at the time) shot everything he killed in AK with a .243 including Caribou, Black Bear and a Moose... Not much of a difference between that and 7mm-08...Nope, only difference is a larger selection of better BC bullets.

You cannot beat an H&R single shot for kids in a .243. They struggle with accuracy on alot of guns becasue they can't hold up the weight in the front. .243 single shot in a synethic stock, kids shoot like experts. Great first gun and they can still use them to whack yotes after they get bigger.
Agreed that's what I started my youngest out on and it was a great gun for his age.

i'm looking at the H&R survivor in .308 for my kids. my daughter is for sure lefty, and my son is leaning that way! :yike: i have no lefty guns! the survivor has a bull barrel, making a 6.5 lb gun (7 with scope) so recoil is mitigated a bit, and with reduced-recoil rounds should make a handy package! i'm not a fan of offhand shots for kids, so my shooting sticks will be the order of the day. heck, I won't shoot without them unless absolutely necessary!
i want to redo the stock in electric blue laminate and make it adjustable so i can shoot it, too! :tup:

As a kid it was natural to hold the gun as a lefty for me but my dad taught me to shoot right, which didn't take long and I'm now glad he did it. Way more options for shooting right and kids can learn rather easily since they have not yet developed habits, you might consider it as well. :twocents:You cannot beat an H&R single shot for kids in a .243.

even with heavy left eye dominance? i worry about shotgunning or pistol. my daughter already shoots a left handed bow.
