I've got a Savage 7mm-08 Model 11 GCNS with the wood stock,Accu-trigger in a bolt-action and its a reat shooting Rifle and it has an adjustable trigger,if You were to get one You could start your Kid out with the Remington "Managed Recoil" Shells and it will have a lot less recoil and they can always shot the regular load shells as they get older.
