My oldest son wants to get into shooting long range with me. He turns 8 this fall and has been shooting 22lr and 223 for some time now. I’d like to get him as low of a recoiling rifle I can that will grow with him and can be used to take deer and antelope when he is ready.

Any suggestions? My initial thought is an AR in 6mm arc or a chassis rifle in the same or 6mm creedmoor.
