Looking for a 6arc for my kids to hunt with. I have a couple of donor r700 clones, but wondering if just getting a factory rifles and modifying the stock might be just as easy if feeding might be a issues. I would much rather pay for a factory rifle and send it back if it doesn't function since I pretty much have zero free time to take on new projects.
Anyways it'll be a blacktail deer/100-300yd range gun. So lightweight is a priority. As well as mild recoil.
Right now I have a howa mini 6.5grendel without a brake. I've shortened the lop to 12.5" and my 10yo shoots it ok, but my 6yo loves it. My 10yo doesn't like the recoil and gets burned out fast, which isn't good.
Now being in the rainy PNW I'd prefer stainless.
The Christian Arms Scout looks intriguing. What else should I look at?
