I gave a AAC Model 7 300 Bkout to my 12 year old niece last year and she loves it!! She has been shooting a 7-30 Waters G2 carbine and she likes shooting this Blackout a lot.. I even got a 10 yr old girl that had never fired a rifle before cutting the bullseye very quickly with it. My niece killed 2 big does with the 125 Gr Btips and I am going to switch her to the 125gr Accubonds or the 110gr Lehigh Controlled Chaos bullet. I love this cartridge and am thinking about getting an AR in this caliber also. Rob
