New Youth rifle

What are the major benefits of the tikka over the ruger? Tikka cost is double after chop and thread of barrel and cut down the stock. Ruger ranch is plug and play.

Besides price the Tikka is better in almost every aspect. With that said my buddy has a Ruger that shoots very well. The action, stock, and trigger feel like garbage but it’s definitely a shooter.

I have never owned a Tikka in .223, but have read multiple threads regarding them not feeding well. Is this going to be a problem for my 6 y.o? Last thing I want is a gun that doesn't feed reliably for him.

Very unlikely that you will have an issue. Use 4 round flush mags.
