[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 743068, member: 423"] If you get a 700 the options are almost limitless. I'd even bet there's an aftermarket short stock available for little guys. Most large rifle makers offer youth models, which usually are just a shorter barrel and stock, so you could later add a full size stock. Or get a full size to start with if they can handle it. Watch the classifieds here. I picked up a custom VZ24 7mm-08 on here that is pretty light on recoil, and was $400 with a 4x scope already mounted. It was a purty looking rifle to boot. Also got a Remington 700 .243 with custom stock and 6-18x40 scope for $600. That one included the reloading dies and a bunch of empty shells too. Kids would have needed a different stock, but you could have sold the custom for more than it would cost to get a factory one easily. ***ETA, in fact, I think there's a Savage 110 .243 with scope already mounted in the classifieds now for something like $375.
