I got a brand new Remington model 715 Youth Model in .243 at Cabelas and bought a 4x12 scope for it for about $400 (out the door) for my daughter this fall. The Youth model has a shorter (20" barrel) than the regular 24". Also it has a shorter length of pull to the trigger. There is another model is called a 770 Youth in .243 that comes with a factory installed Bushnell 3x9 scope Neither gun is "pretty" since they are black synthethic stocks, but its a Remington and its accurate! I was going through the same decision a few months ago as you are right now.
