I would strongly recommend the Tikka T3 in 243 or 7mm-08. I bought the 243 for my boys and then decided to get the 7mm-08 for myself. To be honest, the lighter weight rifles add to the recoil. If you are like me and do most of the carrying for the youngsters, I would actually go for heavier, versus lighter as it increases the felt recoil. I like the Tikka Lite Compact as you can adjust the length of pull, and when you have the end cap off, you can fill the stock full of heavy media, or shot or pea gravel and add weight, and cut down the recoil. Just a thought. Both guns are sub MOA, right out of the box. The Hornady Custom Lite ammo performs well out of both too. Accurate, smooth, inexpensive, versatile, I love them.
