My 6yo rifle I ordered last week just came in. A .243 Ruger Americana youth model. He has a Texas Dall and axis hunt coming up and he has no clue.

Excellent caliber for his age (IMO). He's going to love it. You're spoiling the boy - good job.

You ordered a 6yo rifle? Why not order a new one?  J/k congrats on the rifle and I'm sure your boy will love it.

There's a fine line between BRAVE ... and STUPID.
The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

Excellent choice in caliber and rifle. I love my RA .243.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is better than the look in a kid's eyes when they find/get a new rifle. Good on ya!

Pay it forward - Kids are the future.
Rifles are similar to boats and young women...there's no end to how much money you can pour into them without making them any more useful.

A six year old can handle a 243? I'm not contesting...just kinda pleasantly surprised at how early folks have their kids shooting. My son is a tall 9 year old and he seems to wobbly with the Henry lever action 22. So I just bought him his first BB gun to learn sight picture and safety etc, but even with the BB gun it seems like the length of pull is awkward for him. We've only done two shooting sessions so maybe he will catch on quickly...

Thanks everyone , going to suprise him soon.
He shoots a .410 single shot, .22 Ruger 10-22 and a .223
He holds the gun well when he sits staggered as we tried it out at champions before we bought the rifle.
Going to be very exciting seeing him shoot his first " big " game animal a Texas dall then on to a axis.
