My daughter will be taking a hunters safety course soon and wants to get into deer hunting with me. I have taken her with me the last couple of years and she thinks she is ready for her own rifle. She is kinda small so a long full size gun will be out of the question. I was thinking of a compact/youth model like a Ruger M77 or something similiar. I would like some input as to what you all think. Deer season is a ways away but I would like to start looking now so she can get used to the gun. We live in Ks so I was thinking about a 243 would be the smallest calibre we could go down to. Any input would be appreciated.
