I say screw it and get a 223 or 22-250 for starters. The one rifle for 8 or 9 to adulthood is ridiculous.

Maybe grab a $300 223, or 243 for now, make it fit, for now.

Mag capacity limitation? How about the Howa Mini 6.5 Grendel that comes with two stocks? $359

More random thoughts. 243 and 6.5 Creedmoor works for deer, bear, elk. As does 7mm-08.
