The 795. Still one of my favorites. Great rifle, cheap.kcult said:My son was more like 10 or so when I got him a Marlin 795.
That doesn't help, I know.

That is a good plan. Can't go wrong with a CZ. Bolt action would be good for his first one too.Zbizzle911 said:It's for when he's bigger. Just wanted to start his collection now. Been looking at the Cz scout.
Everyone needs to start their collection sometime! I know he's young and won't be shooting it for a long time. I've got room in the safe and doesn't every little boy need a rifle? lol I'm sure he will rather play with the box anyways lolbigfelipe said:So, he's 11 months old? I hear ya... Start 'em off early...
That would be awesome! lol Maybe a 100 rd drum mag too?Majicmike said:Chinese AK,,,,,If that doesn't work just go with a Marlin 60 and he will have a rifle to last a lifetime.
I already have a Spectre II on a trust that I'll be adding him to once he's an adult. But who knows I might need another! lolBigWaylon said:Ruger 8334. It's the optic ready with oversized bolt handle and threaded barrel. Plenty of time to also buy a suppressor, scope, and the compact stock module.

Unlike the Cricket, the bolt action on the Rascal is fully functional...there is no "plunger" thing at the back that invites the kid to wave the gun around while trying to manipulate the cocking mechanism.

I still need one for my car emergency game gun, because the peep sight and general handling made the short stock the only negative for a 6'2" walrus bloke. And I'm pretty sure I could shoot it at the factory size.
Tim;n28641 said:I'm 6'4" and bust clays with it every time I take the boys out. It would be near perfect as an emergency game rifle.
NCLivingBrit;n28645 said:Exactly what I said first time I touched one. The decent sights, the Savage barrel, the low, low weight. You can even get it in hardwood.
Glade8r;n29704 said:My 11 y/o little girl hasn't been able to shoot any rifle well. Even the youth models were either to long or heavy (she's short like her mamma). I got her a Ruger Charger with a red dot for Xmas. FINALLY!. Went to the range yesterday...find the dot and put that on the target,then press the trigger. She smoked through 600rds in about 2 hours. Ive been trying to get that kid shooting with me for 5 years. She was hitting a 6 inch shootnsee target at 25 yards with little effort. I never understood the purpose of a Charger...until yesterday.
A Cricket was my first rifle when I was just a wee lad, and I loved it. It was single shot which made it great for when I was first learning fundamentalsColtdefender1911 said:Cricket rifles. Check them out. Small sized fer tha youngans. Single shot too if I remember correctly.
