re: 6.5 year old first rifle

I bought a TC encore when my daughter was about that age. I got it with a .17 barrel and a 7mm-08 Bergara barrel with muzzle break from Mike Belmn. I also got a wooden "bantam" stock that I cut about an inch off of. She got used to shooting the gun with the .17 barrel. When she was ready to deer hunt I put the 7mm-08 Barrel on. She is 5 for 5 on deer so far. When she gets a little bigger I plan to put original stock back on gun. The muzzle break probably wasn't necessary but it has zero recoil. Loud as a mofo but no kick at all.
