Looking for a first youth deer rifle for my 9 year old. Right now he shoots his brothers Savage Axis II XP Hunter in 6.5 creedmoor with the adjustable butt stock to shorten the LOP, would love to find something like that preferably a 243. Really looking for something on the more affordable side. Savage asxis II, Ruger American, TC Compass, Mossberg Patriot. Let me know what you got. I would let him use the 6.5 but they are both going out for youth weekend at the same time in Oct in VT. Thanks!
