Both of mine use a Ruger American 243 (full size). I went this route as they both shoot LH and there are much fewer options and this one checked the most boxes for me. I'm a fan of fixed power scopes for kids and have found to really like the Weaver K6 on this rifle for their use. From 30 to 151yds they've not had any problems. The stock was a bit long for them when they started, and still is for the younger son, but using a stable two point rest really helps IMO. A ground blind and a Caldwell Fieldpod make for a very good setup for kids.
