denny Report post Posted September 17, 2009 take a look at the rossi trifecta for $280 u get a 243 22lr and 20gauge three diffrent barrels there all single shots . scope does mount on 243, its a short youth gun and very light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COUESAZ Report post Posted September 17, 2009 Dicks sporting goods is having a sale right now on the rossi guns I think you can order them in youth size also. I am thinking of getting one for my son. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotcoues Report post Posted September 17, 2009 I purchased an H & R single shot 243 and my kids love it. Super small and light weight, I can't remember the price exactly but it was under 200 for sure. It's dropped two carp in their tracks with 80gr core-lokt Rem bullets so far and I'm hoping a coues and some pigs this season. My 10 and 12 yr olds will be using it for their hunts this season. I purchased the rifle at Sportsmans in Tucson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W.O.T Report post Posted September 17, 2009 thanks for the suggestions on the Rossi and H&R... I have a NEF 243, been through several scopes and rings... it shoots really nice wide dot to dot patterns on a 18" target at 100yrds... I'd like to stick w/savage, rem, etc bolt action, was hopin someones son/daughter/wife grew outta theirs. thx again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to agree on this one. Very impressed for the money. My son carried it all day with no problem, wish mine was that light! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
