Hey folks, I have a friend in Texas who's son asked for his first gun for Christmas. Kinda warms the heart, don't it?
Anyway, she asked me what would I recommend and now I'm asking you. (My thoughts were one of those starter combo 22/410's)
She doesn't want to pay over $200. I was also wondering if there are any dealers on here that would be willing to work out a good deal at a good price to ship to a dealer down in TX. They live in the Houston area.
BTW, her and her husband are going to include a gun safety class with a qualified instructor in their Christmas gift.
Here is part of her email to me:
As you saw on FB our son wants a gun for Christmas and I want him to have proper training and I found a range that will train a 12 1/2 yr old. Can you recommend a "starter" long gun for him? He has a lean muscular build and is about average size for 12, 4' 10 - 11" and about 89 lbs. He is very interested and I want him to learn correctly.
Thanks in advance for your input!!!
Blessings!
EDIT: My friend will be following this thread, so be nice guys!
