    Youth size slug gun 177

    Keen to get a youth size single shot for my youngest. The 22 is a fair bit too big.

    What are you using and where do you get them.

    Probably grab 2, one for the nephew

    Nah man, my 8yr old is still into it, plus a couple after him. I got it from James at C.R Pain for $290. Nice German made rifle with steel sights, with child friendly proportions. Awesome match trigger on it also.

    Regardless of the model Gibo, Gamo are simply the bee’s knees, Cat’s whiskers, etc.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
