For my 8yr old who is a scrawny average height bugger, I have just sorted out a Rossi 243, shortened and suppressed. Shortened rear stock to suit him. A bit on the heavy side but hardly any recoil at...

what range does the young fella want to shoot out to? if its only 150m or so the 7.62x39 is good and cheapish to feed

Definitely recommend the 243. Anyone who says it’s too small is just trying to justify something bigger. Obviously you would not shoot extended ranges with a 243 on animals though.. I grew up using...

.243 kills stuff dead, easy to shoot accurately, lots of factory ammo options, weather you are 6 or 60, hunting stags, bucks or Tahr, it will get the job done!

I have 243 and 308, the 14yo boys reckon the 308 doesn't kick too much with mild reloads, though I slip a snapcap round in every now and then to check if they are flinching. Smaller and younger kids...
