My grandson is 7 and he is eager to shoot and hunt. Me and his Dad want to get him something to kill deer with. The problem I have found is finding something he can shoulder with a short LOP. I have searched several manufacturers but he seems to be at that weird stage where they just don't make a rifle to fit him yet. Looking at maybe 243, 350 legend, 6.5 Grendel, 300 blk.

AR-15 platform with adjustable stock is the EZ solution. In a year or two he’ll be big enough for a youth/compact bolt action or single shot.
We’re not dead. We just smell that way. Dayum. - AC870
Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

Same here.... I have a 350 Legend for the Kids I have built. I've got a bunch of kids that come hunt. I used one for the first time with the kids maybe 2 seasons ago.... I was not super excited to start any Kid off on an AR platform but it's been the correct decision. We can practice with the .223 and we take the .350 hunting and the kids have never known the difference.
I'm still shocked at the performance it will smoke a deer or hog. I highly recommend it while hunting with an AR is typically not my thing... I prefer more traditional rifles.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
