Re: Youth Deer Rifle Suggestions
The 30/30 and 243 suggestions are great. I went 300BO as I put one together a few years ago. This is what I gave to my 11 year old daughter. I load subsonic and use a suppressor, and recoil is none existent and it's so quiet. I find the 300BO to be the perfect caliber for a small framed person for PA Whitetail.

Appreciate all the input here. I was leaning towards .243 when I wrote this, and will probably stick that way after reading this. Problem now is actually finding a rifle (and the ammo), but I have time at least.

Don't buy a lever action with a hammer you have to decock for a kid. It's a terrible idea. Their fingers aren't strong enough and it becomesa safety issue. I got a Marlin youth model bolt action in .243. It was under $300 bucks on Buds guns. Nice trigger and accurate. Throw a slip on recoil pad and I can shoot it.

Nothing at all wrong with a .243, or even a 6.5 Creedmoor. For what it's worth, my wife shoots a Browning Micro Midas. It's a sweet little rifle for a kid or smaller adult. Browning offers a deal where you can get a full sized stock for 50% off or something like that.
