RE: Best Rifle for a 9 year old?
Best rifle? What purpose?
I wanted a whitetail rifle that my very petite 9 year old daughter could shoot. Looked at a bunch of "youth" models. Ended up with a Remington Model 7 youth in .243.
I agree with LADeerGuy. It is a shooter. I have been using it for hunting myself since I bought it. Shoots great. Minimal recoil. Even though the stock is too small for me, I don't have to worry about the kick. And, it puts deer down very effectively.
