My 9 year old son loves to shoot and has expressed interest in deer hunting next year. Currently he shoots a savage rascal 22. My plan is to get him a rifle, get comfortable shooting it over the next few months and be ready to deer hunt next fall. Initially I was leaning to a savage or weatherby compact (youth) in 350 legend -both have adjustable length of pulls- but it's still just a bit long for him. I've deer hunted all my life but have little AR knowledge. What would you recommend between an AR in 300 blackout, 6.5 grendel, or 350 legend? Biggest point being most comfortable regarding recoil and noise to develop good shooting habits. Or, buy an inexpensive compact bolt and cut the stock down to needed lop?
