22 rifle

[Lohman446]

Ok, I know enough about pistols, and have plenty. I intend to buy my daughter a starter .22 for Christmas and have pretty well eyed out one sized well for her.

That being said, aside from the Ruger 10/22 I got when I was young I don't own a .22. I am looking for a cheap shooter, though I realize I may spend some money on the rifle itself.

Requirements .22 rimfire, I prefer bolt action, suitable for a scope. Thoughts from those who know more than I do?

Any idea on a price range you are looking at? And are you looking for something lightweight or a target rifle? There are some you can pick up for $100 at wally world, but for good ones you are looking at over $500...so need a little more to work with :) Low end (http://www.snipercountrypx.com/showproduct.aspx?productid=3013)

Depending on the age/size of your daughter, most of the major gun manufacturers make youth sized single shot bolt action rifles in .22 rimfire. The stocks are sized appropriately for children. Hope this gets you in the right path.

I know you said bolt, but how about a youth model Henry lever action?

Savage or Savage Youth. Best buy for the money. TSC's .17M2 is a one hole wonder.

My first rifle was a Ruger 10/22 its been awsome and helf up fine...

Or as Army said get a Savage ive heard plenty of good things about those, although I cant say that i have any experience with them.

Look for one called a Chipmonk. Single shot bolt action. Very small. The coon hunters use then because they are so light and short.

I'd say check out gander mountian's used section I found my semi .22 for only 79 bucks.
