Out of the 3 you mentioned the 6 ARC has the least amount of recoil. I’d stick with .243 and put a muzzle brake on it. There won’t be any recoil. But you’ll pay with the “bang.”
Thanks fellas . I had held off until Boxing Day to see if I could find a sale on either tikka .223 or Howa of sorts. After a lot of debating now I think I’ll jump into a Grendel for her.
Prophet River has a mini Grendel on sale, but in the plastic stock, I think I’ll go that route and just trim down the stock if it’s to long, then replace it with walnut in a couple/few years after a few growth spurts.
This is my 6yo making a 1st round hit at 510yds. You can see how he handles the recoil.
I picked up a plastic stocked mini in grendel for my 2 younger boys. 6 and 10. I cut the stock back about 1.5" and reinstalled the factory recoil pad. It worked well enough. I was able to reuse the stock screw holes and just sanded the pad down to fit. They both like the round and it's pretty mild recoiling.
I also picked up a Stockysstocks VG that it sits in now. The LOP is just under 13 with the thin recoil pad.

Yeah, lol, I know. We are working on it. I think it's because it was only a 15x scope and he was having a hard time picking out the steel. He is only 6 and usually shoots an AI that has much better glass.Train that kid to stay on the damn gun
The screw holes were still there when I cut the stock. I think I had to drill them a little deeper though. But everything lined up perfectly.Thanks jb!! That’s what I have in mind, cutting down the stock an inch or so. I wasn’t sure if the screw holes would still be there or not, that makes it a lot easier if they are.
The rifle should be here in a few days, excited to see how my girl handles it.
