My son and I had a great youth hunt this weekend. He was able to shoot his second deer an 8pt and is still bouncing off the walls with excitement. (pics to follow) With my little girl old enough to hunt next year I get to begin the quest for a step up rifle for my son. He shoots left handed with a TC Encore in 22-250 currently. I cut a wooden stock down for him and it has worked great.
I'm thinking about a 243 as he'll only be 8 and ammo is generally cheap and plentiful. I can't decide whether to buy a barrel for another Encore frame I have or try and find a left handed bolt action youth model. I really don't want a black on black cheap rifle and this is all I can seem to find in a left handed youth model. Any other suggestions?
