Looking at getting my 11 year old his own rifle.

He has used one of mine up until now.

Thoughts on this one? My guy would thread it cheaper than the model already threaded.

Nothing wrong with that at all. Got my daughter the compact and it’s coming back from Kampfeld as we speak for chop to 18 and thread.

Great starter.

I bought my 11 year old a tikka .223 in stainless and had it cut to 16” and also cut the stock to shorten lop. No regrets. I think you are on the right track.

When my son was 11 he used a 25-06. At 13 he used my 270wsm. My 11 yr old daughter will be using my regular 270. Im going to get a new stock for it with an adjustable lop and cheek riser. It’s the same model 70 I was given as a graduation gift from Highschool almost 31 years ago.

Nothin wrong with whatcher lookin at. Gotta ask though. Does he have a 22?
