Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Youth Rifle 6.5 creedmoor vs 7mm-08

I wonder if Weatherby can sell you a stock to go on that Howa. They have the Camilla version made for women that they put on their Howa-made rifle. It's too big now, but it'd be a nice present down the road.

Mac, she's gonna love it and it'll be simpler to load for both yours and hers rather than a second cartridge.
Fixed 6x will be fine, shoot lots.

I wouldn't buy a package gun, as the scopes and mounts tend to be lower tier stuff. I think that you'd do better to buy a Howa 1500 from Whittaker's, replace the stock, and buy a higher grade scope and mounts.

I don't own either one, but I'd be looking at the 7.
Someday your kid will grow up and if you want to load up heavier rounds, you'll be able to do that.
But I see you're going with 6.5.

I like the Howa. Stock, not so much, but it can be a fun upgrade whenever. Hack up the hogue to fit and get a McM when she stops growing like a weed.

I still like my leupold 6's, but the swfa ss 6x gets so much love and they're on sale today. I don't think you could go wrong.
