I have the Ruger American Compact in 7mm08 for my 8 year old. The short length of pull and short barrel make it easy for him to maneuver, shoulder, and get his eye up to the scope. With 120gr Fusions, it's very accurate and hardly any recoil. (this is with a normal weight 50mm scope on it which gives it a little more heft than with a smaller scope). Trigger is pretty nice. For the price, it's sure an attractive option. It would make a great little tree stand gun too as maneuverable as it is.
Good luck with your TC, I'm sure it will be good as well.
