Flatlander Report post Posted February 27, 2017 Marlin X7Y. $300 at Healy great rifle for the price and a great starter that you don't have to worry about them wrecking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
300RUM Report post Posted February 28, 2017 My hunting partners son carries a Remington Model 7 Compact. When he outgrows the youth stock it will be swapped out for a normal stock and the gun will still be a nice light rifle for him as an adult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MT_Sourdough Report post Posted February 28, 2017 I just put a Marlin XS7 7mm-08 in a Boyds stock. The trigger was easy to adjust to a consistent 2 3/8 lbs. The trigger has no creep, but isn't super crisp. Still, it's quite exceptional for a $300 rifle. I sighted it in and messed around with cheap factory ammo, yet both types of cheap factory ammo produced slightly under moa groups at 50 and 100 yards. I am confident that my handloads will cut these groups in half. I am actually getting set to buy my fourth Marlin X7, so I am obviously a fan of these $300 rifles.

Stallone A. Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Look at Tikka T3 compact youth model. IMO this is the best gun out there for youths. I have one in .243 and 7mm-08. Both my sons shoot amazing with these guns. Trigger and action are great and they are light wait. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sor-Chancho Report post Posted March 1, 2017 I have a youth model Savage Axis 7mm-08 that I pieced together for my triplet daughters. It has a 20" Barrel, VIAS Brake, action is a Remington Bolt Action, Vortex Viper 6.5x20x50 - Mil Dot #VPR-M-06ZMD scope, The trigger was Honed and Stoned with lighter springs installed by Coyote Gun works from AGI Guns, and a Harris Bipod 6" to 9". You would probably want to change the stock as it is now muddy girl camouflage. Your boy would probably not appreciate all the pink and purple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
