I bought my son the Marlin X7 youth rifle last year in 7mm-08. It has a heavier barrel and a better trigger than the Axis and others that I checked out.
PSA has a smoking deal on the Patriot in .308, .270 and .30-06 just in case anybody is looking. Not a youth model or .243 but hard to beat.

I honestly would buy a .308 but I'm a bit concerned on what I am hearing about the accuracy of these guns and I don't reload.
