re: Good low recoil rifle for 8 year old to grow into?

I'm more excited for when he needs a full sized rifle

That was my reason for suggesting a 700 with a youth stock. When he outgrows that stock, full length ones are a dime a dozen. He'll never outgrow the caliber.

I still hunt with the rifle I killed my first deer at 7 years old with.
