All the above are great choises, but no one metioned a 30-30. Usually the rifles are lite and easy to handle for a 12 year old with very little recoil or noise.

The reason I say 7mm08 is because he'll outgrow or want to upgrade a lesser versaitle caliber later and the 7mm08 is long range capable,low recoil,and incredibly accurate. He'll outgrow the stock but NOT the cartridge.

Does anyone make a youth-sized .30-30? I've never actually seen one (but of course, that certainly isn't an indication that they don't exist...)

They did at one time maybe 3-5 years ago. I just looked all over their website and can't find one. Maybe it got discontinued. I was sure planning to get one for my son. Guess next time I see something I like I better jump on it before it goes away

I think the 336 youth model is no longer in Marlins lineup, but the 336 is short rifle anyway. The 336A doesn't come with a thick recoil pad just a plastic cover so it's a little thinner.
