My boy’s are small like no more than 65lbs small. Recoil and weight have been an issue. Right now they shoot a Ruger American 300 blackout and they are incredibly accurate under 150 with it. There is very little recoil with this gun.
They also have a Ruger American Youth 243. they shoot the same loads I do out of the gun because I don’t want to load multiple loads honestly. This is definitely a much more capable hunting rifle than the 300BO. My 10 year old doesn’t shoot it he is real recoil shy and my 12 year old shoots it but noticeablely flinches. He was ringing the gong at 250 yesterday though which was cool.
With all that said I just ordered a clamp on brake for the 243. What do you guys think will this reduce the recoil down around the same as the 300 BO?
