I would seriously consider the .22-250, the trajectory on that is flatter out to 300 yards than the .223 It also carries more energy at long distances. I even looked into the .220 Swift for ya, and the .22-250 is gonna be the best "bang for the buck" literally and you can find ammo quite easily for that caliber. This info is based on a 55 grain bullet for both the .223 and .22-250 and a 50 grain bullet with the .220 swift. Hope this helps a little.

This would be a pretty heavy gun for a youngster. I would prefer the H&R Handi Rifle Youth 243 Win. (SB2-Y43) and send the reciever back in and have a shotgun barrel fitted to it. Should be a better fit and easier for him to shoot.

I shoot both the .17 and a .223 for varmint . The .17 does good for me on coyotes and bobcats , but I dont usually push it over 100-150 yards . If I know Im gonna have to shoot further , I take my .223 .
