Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Building an 11 year olds rifle

It's a rem 700 adl originally in 243win. I bought a wood stock for it and cut it to 11.75" lop. I bought a 260 rem barrel and took it down to 20". We had it fluted by twisted barrel in Wyoming. I'm thinking of sending the barrel to Rob Roberts to have it EDM ported. They claim to reduce jump and also recoil by 15%. Anybody done this? This rifle is for an 11yo with a 3yo little brother. It's going to go through several kids. I don't mind throwing a few bucks at it if it's worth it.

I wouldn't, I'd just thread it for a muzzle brake/suppressor if you can. Probably not much of a need with young kids to shoot bullets over 130 grains. Brakes can cause flinching just as fast as recoil.
