I went with a ruger tactical .22, it has an adjustable Ar type adjustable stockExcellent! This gives me some places to start...I have a 10/22 myself, so I am very familiar with that gun. My concern was that the boys still have a hard time getting their arms around the stock. I'll look into the adjustable stock option for that. Since we already have a 10/22, I'm inclined to go a different route for variety. Definitely some great ideas to take to the lgs. Thank you!

I am a big fan of starting with a single shot bolt action .22. My first was a Marlin 15Y I got for Christmas 33 years ago, which I passed on to my 8 year old son last year.
I started my sons out with Cricket 22LR bolt action rifles. Simple, but they thought they had just been sniper rifles for their birthday.
