I知 putting my 12 year old in for multi season and if he gets drawn I知 purchasing him a muzzy. I muzzy hunt for elk religiously, know my way around a muzzleloader I have a knight disc extreme 50 cal and a Thompson center 58 cal. One is to heavy and the other the stock is two long. He is a decent shot with open sights. Just need to find one that fits him. And as simple as possible. Haven稚 done a lot of research yet wanted to come here first to see if you guys got any recommendations for a youth model muzzy. He is not a very big kid but Shoots his 243 and 6.5 with sticks and his 22 with ease all youth models and has killed a deer in Idaho. So he not a green horn but definitely still a apprentice. thanks for the help
I am assuming that the DISC is to long for him - but it is an excellent rifle... You can do a couple of things
1. Change recoil pads to a thinner recoil pad - the Limbsaver #1052 will actually absorb more recoil than does the factory Knight. It is 5/8" thick as compared to the 1" Knight.
2. Remove current recoil pad and cut the dimension that you want and then add a new recoil pad.
Plus you might look at the Knight Littlehorn - It is designed for youth.

CVA Optima is what I have and they're as simple as can be, and compact/lightweight. I think it would be perfect for a kid. Probably would want to keep the powder charge on the light side though so recoil isn't too brutal.
:yeah: The CVA optima would be a good choice. Depending on the size of the child, the CVA Wolf might be a good fit as well. It is a simpler version of the Optima with a shorter barrel which makes it a little bit lighter.

The T/C Impact has an adjustable stock.
You know the Impact really is not that bad of a rifle... see a lot of people using it and with Washington's new rules you can use 209's so might be a good look see

My cousin has used one for his San Juan Island deer gun and it kills em dead. He lets my niece use it when I bring her over and she likes it. I have since bought one and it shoots great.
