Thread: Small 22 for kids

I strongly support MD's post above - single shot open sights is a great way to build good basic safety/skills/patience//respect/understanding.

I can't have been much older than 9 when I started on Dad's old single shot .22 - a Gecado Plinker. Bloody loved that rifle.
One popped at GC Chch a while back, sans ejector as a parts gun. If my bloody license hadn't take an eternity, I would have bought it and got a copy of Dad's ejector machined, but some lucky bugger with I assume the same plan beat me to it.

An old decent brand single shot that can be butchered without causing too many tears (i.e. not a potential collectors item... and not a Gecado Plinker ) would be a great option to start them on.
