Man i dont really like 223 for deer. Low as i would go is 243
7mm-08 reduced recoils would be prefered, they could just change ammo when got older and use same gun.

300 black out would be a good option.

Does 300BLK come in non-AR format?
NM, i see that it does.
I would vote as oleyeller...7m-08 with reduced recoil corelokts.

I am small caliber guy. Shoot 6mm(.244). Wife has 7mm08, which I thought both a little much for 5/6 yr olds but first I have heard about a reduced load. Will have to research. Would love 243 so it could be used forever but I think it's a little much. Don't want them jerking.

7mm-08 reduced recoil
Bought my kid a savage axis youth with scope last year for about 300
Good little starter gun

AAC Micro Seven (Remington model 7 action with threaded barrel) and H&R makes a single shot .300 BLK. I have shot both and both are decent.

I have two boys 6 and 4 and am thinking about getting a rifle for them to use as well. I have been leaning to the 300 blackout since it will have about the lightest recoil you can get from a deer rifle and the AR platform with a 6 position stock will allow the rifle to grow with them. The 300 blk is similar in power to the 7.62x39 (actually about 17% more) and the 30-30. Within 150 yds it should perform great. The barnes TAC-TX 110 gr bullets should be deadly on whitetail.

7 mag or 300 WSM if you want to man them up quick
You can get a crack barrel 243 with scope pretty cheap.

i just got my boys some of those Rossi combos with the .22/.410...thinking about purchasing the additional .243 so they can use them for deer...any thoughts on those from the OB?

In my experience, they are highly inaccurate.

My son started shooting his Savage .223 when he was 4. It fit him well and he is very comfortable shooting it. The gun has killed 5 deer, although my son shot a small buck earlier this year and we tracked it for 4 hours with good blood trial then the blood dried up. So, I could see how some people are concerned about the size of a .223, but I think it was more of a shot placement problem. He shot a little to far to the back, by on 2-3", but that's all it takes.I'll try and link a video for you to see him shooting it.
ETA- Here is the link of the video, it's Fakebook so let me know if it doesn't work and I'll try and post it another way.
Shooting the .223 at 4 years old

OP: 7m-08. There are lots of options. Lots of good options and discussions in this recent thread. LINK
SGA: don't do the rossi all in one for a hunting rifle. Your kid will lose confidence. Get him a decent rifle in a good caliber and let him practice with it and feel comfortable with it when he can hit a target at 100-150.

i think you have to send the gun in to get additional barrels to check the headspacing
don't think you can just buy the barrel
