Keep an eye out for an old single shot bolt action 22.My 11 yr old son has been asking to take him shooting but I don’t have many things that he would be able to shoot comfortably. Anyone have recommendations on a rifle that would be beginner friendly, .22lr preferably. Thanks in advance.
He’s been using a pellet gun lately. I figured it may be time to upgrade to something a little more.I think a decent pellet rifle would be good. You can do that at your house without needing to goo to a range. Outside you can set up some thin steel targets at various distances. Inside you just need a box with a carpet remnant secured at the top and hanging free to stop the pellets and a place to secure the target. I did that with my kids and they had a blast. I still like to shoot airguns. It iis really fun to hunt chipmonks with them; < 30 yards I use and air pistol, > 30 yards an air rifle. There is an airgun section on INGO, check it out.
Yeah I looked at the Ruger. Seems like a very solid choice as of now. I’m going to take him to the gun store this weekend and see if he sees anything that interest him.Take a look at the Ruger bolt action rifles. I bought one for my grand kids when they turned ten.
I still have my first BB gun, 22 bolt and 410 shotgun that were given to me as a child.
Yeah and at 79 bucks, if the kid busts it.. your not out muchDang that’s a killer deal I’ll have to check them out because that’s a great deal.
Makes 100% sense. I didn’t know there was a sportsman warehouse in Indiana. Prob a drive for me but I’m sure I can make a trip out of it.Yeah and at 79 bucks, if the kid busts it.. your not out much
Well it was a used one off pre 1968 used gun I found.. but, im sure you can dig up something similar around Indiana.Makes 100% sense. I didn’t know there was a sportsman warehouse in Indiana. Prob a drive for me but I’m sure I can make a trip out of it.
There is one in Fort Wayne, probably closest unless you want to go to MichiganMakes 100% sense. I didn’t know there was a sportsman warehouse in Indiana. Prob a drive for me but I’m sure I can make a trip out of it.
