Youth Rifle

[WyldeShot]

I bought my 8 year old the ruger american rimfire compact youth model. Wonderful gun. And if they ever want to move up to a real caliber, the ruger american rifle will be second nature for them, just a change in caliber.

I'll have to look at the size of this. Thanks!

What about a good Ole red rider bb gun? That's how I strated and now I'm on ingo

He has one that I have been working with him on. He wants to be like dad and shoot a real gun.

I bought my son a 10/22 when he was 8. It has the adjustable stock on it. We did all of our shooting from a bench with sandbags.
My son enjoyed shooting it after the usual 10/22 modifications. One thing that i didn't like about it was having to open the bolt for him. I wanted him to get in a habit of leaving the bolt open himself.

My friend bought his son a CZ 452 and cut the stock down. They didn't have any problems.

Might want to check out the CZ 452 Scout as well.

I like the Savage Cub (Rascal is almost the same and Cub is no longer made) and the Henry Mini Bolt.

However, my kids learn on a Ithaca 49 with Colibri/Super Colibri ammo.

I was eyeballing the mossberg 702 plinkster for my boy. Super light rifle and has fiber optic sights with a hooded front sight. Maybe the mossberg that looks like like an AR but is a 702 mossberg in an AR shell. I'm sure he'd love to have a gun that looks like an AR but is under $200

My wife just picked up the 702 a few weeks ago at walmart for $98. Great little rifle for the price. I would avoid buying a 25 round magazine for them though. They are cheaply made and have tons of problems. I am sure a quick google search will give you more than enough reason to stick to the 10 round metal magazines.
