I need advice on a rifle for a 7 year old

[tag_heuer]

My daughter was 5 when I did this, 6 now. It's a Savage MK II with the LOP chopped to 9". It's much too heavy to shoot offhand, but prone or off a tripod works great. I'll probably buy a cricket or whatever eventually, but I like teaching her from supported positions.

That foto rocks!!!! Future sniper
