Got the kid a Tikka Compact .243.
Couldn’t find any Sportsmatch rings in stock, but a rail I had here and low Mtn Techs isn’t too bad.
I think with a light weight 7”ish suppressor that this will serve him well until a Montana fits him.
I’m hoping Varget and 70s will shoot well, and have low enough recoil for him to shoot a lot until it’s suppressed.
