I have a .338 Win Mag, and Rem 280, bothBrownings. I picked up a Savage Model 11FYCAKYouth,7mm-08 for my 9 year old twins, and am I impressed! It has the adjustable muzzle brake which reduced the recoil by 30% for the kids, which is great. I was most impressed with it's accuracy and low recoil. Savage offers an adult stock at cost, which I am going to order, I like my other rifles, but this little bullet is a blast to shoot, and packs a punch. I loaded up the nosler 140gr Accubond, and have no complaints. I was pleasantly suprised at the quality Savage put into this rifle. Everything works smooth as silk, and the blue job is excellent.
