Rifle for my 9 year old son

[Laramie]

I've run a bunch through it now, but my top 2 are the 131 Hammer Hunter and the 140 Accubond. Both 1/2-3/4 MOA. The 131 hammer sizzles at 2985 while the 140 Accubond is doing 2850.

We shoot the 140 grain accubonds as well in my wife's 7mm-08. It has performed well on several deer and elk- all inside of 300 yards.

Just a quick update. I was able to finally get the rifle put together. I went with the savage 110 ultralight in 6.5 creedmor. It’s got a zeiss v4 4-16 x44 mounted with Hawkins precision ultralight rings on a egw base. It is finished off the a thunder beast arms ultra 7. All up it’s 8.5 lbs.

Damn.. Zeiss scope? Tell him there are 52yo men jealous of his setup!

Final update: After a half dozen or so range days with my son, he was able to take his first Blacktail buck with the rifle at 9 years old. It happened opening day at first light! One shot at 135 yards and the buck was down.
