Im not a Savage fan, but the Lady Hunter is a perfect platform for the cartridge -- shorter LOP and a raised cheek piece to help get shooters properly behind the scope.


While a bolt rifle would be fine it seems to me that the AR platform would be great for anyone youngsters as well.
Adjustable stock,Light weight,short,and recoils less than a bolt rifle in the same caliber,especially with the mid length gas system.


I agree 100%. In fact, that's the platform I set up for my eight year old son. Recoil is mitigated, the stock adjusts to perfection and the vertical grip really makes is easy for them to reach the trigger.

It worked well for him!

Great pic of your son and his buck !
Tell him I said congratulations.

Thanks
