Ok.. My wife just got her pistol and gave me the 'all clear' to get a 'tactical 22' for my sons. They're 9 and 12. They shoot my father in law's Ruger 10/22 really well. They like the look of the AR platform but I think they'll be stoked with just about anything.
I have a budget of about $300 (give or take a little). I saw the Mossberg AR15-22 from Bud's for about $260 (plus FFL transfer).. the reviews on their website weren't so hot.. lots of them were suggesting that it was finicky and the magazines were garbage.
So I'm looking for suggestions from the folks 'in the know'. It will mostly be for my boys to plink with at the range. They are very good w/ the iron sights on my father in law's Ruger. I'm sure they'll love having a Red Dot sight on the new gun
Not gonna use it for hunting. My boys are kinda small for their ages. (For example, my 9 yr old is the same size as my 5 yr old LOL) So INgo.. what are your suggestions ?
I searched a little but didn't find much that pertained to my limitations.
Thanks in advance
