M700 Upgrade Advice

I'd let him carve his initials in the stock and forget all about it.

Read a thread over at 24HR and it was a similar kinda story will a little gal and a 260. There's a lot of lessons that us grownups could learn from kids. All the BS about this vs. that, BC, scopes, yadda, yadda amounts nothing. Kids could care less about "specs".

Everything "we" need to know about rifles and hunting is summed up in an 8 year old grin...



The smiles tell the story....

NOBODY could have said it better !!

I would not change a thing on the rifle. The Sendero 270 is a great whitetail hunting rifle. Those rifles have a very good reputation for accuracy and the heavier barrel helps reduce felt recoil, especially important for a young child.
Now that your son got his first deer with it, I would tell him that it is his rifle now and tell him the importance of the rifle.
If it's too heavy for him to carry to the deer stand, then it looks like you will need to be the 'gun bearer' for him till he gets a little bigger.

some don't or won't get it but THAT is what this stuff is supposed to be all about at some point
