My granddaughter has been shooting a her savage model 10 in .223 for the last two years. It is time to rebarrel for her, and she wants to move up in caliber. She has done quite a bit of shooting on my .260 lately, and keeps begging. She does not put the time in behind it as much as her .223. I have been contemplating a .243 for her, but she really wants a .260. I want her to settle in on the rebuild, and I am afraid that after few trips to the range shooting a .260 to the extent she shoots her .223 she will not be happy. Grandson shoots his .243 and she says it shoots like her .223 and she wants more accuracy and distance. She has been working her way out to 600 yards, and wants something to go well out to 1000 eventually.
1. Should go ahead and build the .260
2. Let her put in a bit more time on my .260 to see if she is really comfortable shooting the caliber.
3. Build it in .243 and let her suck it up.
And no I cant tell her it is .260 . She knows the difference. She has been shooting since 5, and no misleading her. And this is not Granddad spoiling her she has saved for this rebuild, putting up every last bit of money for the last six months she earns doing stuff around the house.
