I am in the market for a new rifle for my wife who needs a compact/youth rifle. This rifle will also serve as a starter gun for my kids. For the sake of simplicity, we are sticking with the compact/youth out-of-the-box option in lieu of cutting down a stock. I have searched the threads here (not much there on my exact question) and the internet (found mostly positive information in regards to my question) but, I wanted to put the question out here. Lord knows this IS THE PLACE TO GO if you want opinions and I would like to hear opinions/knowledge (first hand hopefully) on this topic.
I believe we have narrowed it down to two guns: the Remington 700 SPS
Compact or the Howa 2-in-1 Youth (the caliber will be 7MM-08). Currently, the decision is solely being based on which quality, factory gun ("factory" noted to head off any custom gun talk), feels best to her - I think she is leaning toward the Howa. With that being said, does anyone out there have any experience with the Howa 2-in-1 Youth? How does the Howa compare to the Remington in terms of quality, accuracy, dependability, etc?
A gun that has peaked my interest while looking at guns for my wife is the CVA Scout. While it certainly doesn't have the notoriety or "nobility" of say the Encore, it seems like a solid, well built gun that would be a lot of fun. Does anyone have anything to offer in regards to this gun?
