Not really a tactical thing so I put this here... AND 'Fur" is what this rifle is going to be used to bag...
Just purchased a H&R youth-sized Handi-Rifle for my 11yr old in 7mm-08 (B'day present). Mounted an inexpensive 2x7 bushnell scope on top and started him off shooting Remmington "managed recoil" rounds (140 gr).
Once I got the scope dialed and the rifle broken in.. it easily putting rounds w/i the 1'' center dot of the target at 50 yds.. 1.5" at 100. With these rounds zeroed at 150yds... you about 1" high at 50yds and 1.4" at 100. Very comparable to the ballistics of the full-power rounds but at about half the recoil.
He loves the rifle (best birthday EVER). Recoil is nowhere near excessive but it is enough for a "tough guy" just-turned 11yr old to feel like he's shooting more than a "kids" gun.
Trigger is...well... not match grade.
Nice, fun, inexpensive, gun to shoot. Truth be told, for where I live, it woudl be the only deer rifle that one would need.
Make sure you get the medium height scope rings to clear (just barely) the hammer.
