[QUOTE="Winkfish, post: 2995488, member: 98068"] I have done a couple different builds and I have found that the stock / chassis selection becomes more of what the individual likes based on looks not function. Some kids think the chassis is cool and others like the stock, you just never know. I do have the Boyd's at-one and it does work well and there is a very wide variety of color options to allow them to pick a color pattern that they would like. No complaints here in regards to that option. This will allow them to use it as they grow with enough cheek adjustment to allow for a good and consistent cheek placement. On the other side of the coin is the chassis and something like an MDT-LSS which I think works really well. You will have the same adjustability if not more, however your factory color choices are a limited. Personally I like the chassis for little more for adjustability and durability. If it were a dedicated hunting rifle for me then I would gravitate over to a stock in a fixed configuration however you need something that can grow with the individual and they grow quickly you will like the adjustability of something like the at-one / chassis. As for glass, that depends upon budget and the distance you are wanting to shoot. I am a fan of the 2-10 or 3-15 power scopes for most things. For hunting field of view is important and many in my opinion many go overboard on magnification and loose their sight picture during recoil on game and can't determine what happened. The smaller scopes also help keep the weight and overall package a little smaller, which may aid a younger or smaller shooter. With a decent scope at 10 power you can see your bullet holes at 100 yards. You will like the 6 ARC. I have it in a couple different configurations and with the 108gr class bullets it will ring steel at 1,000 yards without issue and the recoil is very low. The only issue so far has been general brass availability. [/QUOTE]
