What's the difference between the 110 and the 111? from what I can find, it's just the stock wood vs. synthetic.
P.S. I think I fixed the pic in my top post. 110 is a fixed magazine 111 is a removable box magazine. Both come in wood or synthetic. Mine is the 111 but I believe the combos come in both options, which is why I said 110/111.

243 and 6mm recoil all but the same in similar rifles. Rem 700 or Ruger 77. 6mm bit more knock down if reloaded. 260 milder recoil than 7mm-08 and especially 308.
If u find a clean 243' go for it. Winchester 70 would be my first look.
Good luck.

243 is the perfect caliber for them. Browning Xbolt - very nice looking rifle, in that price range and fit smaller frame people really well.

I know there have been plenty of deer killed with a .243, but I have seen too many that the bullet didn't pass through. I would take a low-recoil .308 over .243 any day.
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

Since they are petite, you might look at the Ruger American Compact in either 243 or 7mm-08. About $350.

If they are petite, do you need a youth model for them?
I agree on 243. I bought my Grandson a Weatherby Vanguard about 5 years ago. They are spooky accurate.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

Second that... I have one in 7mm-08 and has shoots 1/2 MOA with rem corelok bullets. If they are petite, do you need a youth model for them?

I bought the Vanguard in .243. I just got to get the Scope mounted this weekend and see how it shoots. One of my girls(never shot a scoped rifle) got to play with my mini 14 last weekend and shot great. At least once I got her to back off the scope a little!

I'm thinking of getting the Vanguard in 243 (Youth model) for my daughter. Please post pictures and results after you shoot the new gun.

Thompson Center has another $75 Rebate available on all new Venture CF rifles right now. For a New Youth sized Shooter I'd be looking at the Compact that has an adjustable butt stock down to 13" LOP and a 20" barrel for Youth sizes, that the butt's insert can take back out to a normal 13 3/4"s LOP. American made, 1" accuracy Guarantee, Lifetime Warranty, adjustable trigger, weighs about 6 3/4lbs, grooved touch panels so it's not slippery, pillar bedded yadda yadda...and built by Smith & Wesson.
Re read a early Spring '14 Outdoor Life? in the Doc's office last tuesday, waiting on my Cat Scan prep to settle before they loaded me up with Iodine dye, and OL ranked the Venture in the top 4-5 best buys.
