I recently went through the same issues with getting a rifle for my 10 yr. old grandson. I went with the new Savage 110 Hunter rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. The big attraction was the Accufit stock design. It allows you to increase/decrease the length of pull and the comb height with additional modular pieces from 12.75-13.75". It has the Accustock with the full aluminum bedding block that free floats the barrel to the receiver ring. The adjustable comb height allows him perfect cheek weld to center his eye in the scope. I like the Accutrigger and it is easily adjustable. Savage barrels are known for their accuracy and this one shoots great. It cleans up like a match grade quality barrel. Also, the three position tang safety is another feature that is desirable. I reload, so there are plenty of quality components out there and will be trying some of the small rifle primer pocket brass that is available. In the future, if you want to change calibers, with a few tools, it is an easy process to change barrels with the barrel nut that is used to headspace the barrel and bolt. Check out some of the "You Tube" videos, and no I don't work for Savage. Good shooting!
