The CZ scout is a great youth sized high quality rifle that is still fun to shoot as an adult. The only flaw is the rear sight. Upgrade it with a rear receiver target peep and it is superb rifle.
The small cheap youth rifles are not cheap. They have a short life with youth so you will be buying another rifle not long after.
The Ruger American compact or 10/22 with the interchangeable butt stock inserts are a good cheaper option. The sights suffer on those also but they are easily upgradeable. The mags are interchangeable and the American can be single loaded.
Savage MKII suffers because the cheap un-adjustable stocks and poor quality finish and mags. They have an excellent barrel and trigger only.
A good upgrade for new youth is a bipod. It makes handling the rifle easy until they get use to it or grow into it. Another good upgrade to make shooting fun is a red dot. They work extremely well for both bolt and semi autos.
