Just ordered a .243 youth model for my daughter for Christmas to ake advantage of rebates. Only thing in stock dealer could get from his suppliers was the package model. I know the scope is crap but are the rings and mounts good? If so its worth the extra $30 I paid over the standard youth model. Have had great hunting success with my standard .223 axis and Stainless .30-06 Axis. They have become my go to rifles and love the money they saved me I could spend on better glass. I put Dnz one piece mounts on those and they're great.
