willhunt4coues Report post Posted April 6, 2015 I found that a great lightweight youth gun in the 6.5 Creedmoor cal is the Ruger American Predator very affordable and very accurate. BUT the only issue is no one has them. They are selling like hot cakes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
