Any pros/cons on these two guns?
Looking for a plinker for my daughter. Pink camo not required.
Or any other suggestions? She's 11 and about as tall as Dad, so we don't need a junior-sized rifle.
Thanks!
LOL! I know what you mean!Thanks for the feedback. Is there any one type that young ladies seem to enjoy shooting most?
My daughter's not quite a tomboy, but I know heavy recoil would discourage her at the beginning. Also an action that is too complex.
Heck, that even bothers dad sometimes...
The Wildcat looks pretty nice, but is it still in production?Not to confuse you more since you asked about 2 specific rifles but, I would recommend a new Winchester Wildcat bolt action or a Henry blued lever action. The Wildcat should be around $200 bucks and the Henry a little more.
My only critisim of the model 60 is that it is fed from a tubular magazine. Kids have a tendency to see the business end of the barrel when loading. I would recommend the Marlin 795 if you are considering an entry level semiautomatic. You sometimes see these on sale new for just a little over $100. Been very tempted to get one just to have.
