The CZ Popular 527 Carbine now has a youth variant. Though the action and barrel stay the same, the Turkish Walnut stock has been shrunk in nearly every dimension. With a 12.75" length of pull, smaller pistol grip with tighter radius, and a thinner forend, the Youth Carbine makes an ideal first deer rifle. Paired with CZ's smooth micro-Mauser action and single set trigger, a standard Carbine stock can be added as the shooter grows, so its small size won't relegate it to the back of the safe a few years down the road.
