I'm acually shooting the remington model seven and it's such a great gun I've had no problems with it I've been shooting it for 4 years now and taken 7 deer with with it. Two of my cousins are using it and my dads good friend owns one but a diff make and it's his favorite gun he owns he's the one who told me about it. I will get with him on the make and get back with you but there's really not much difference just price. It shoots real flat at 200, 300 yards. I'm shooting 140grain nossler with mine and none if my deer went over 50 yards. I'm sure you mite no but it's a 7mm bullet necked down to a 308 casein check in on it. I no you child will like and bet you will take it out your self haha. It's just an all around. Bug game and little game. I no it will be hard for me to go out abd get a new gun. One more thing it does come in a childens stock and u can upgrade but there's really no diffence. It's nice and short easy to move around with but still has the distance you will want.
