We got the kids their own .22 rifles when they started hunting. We got the CZ 452 Scout's.
I topped them with cheap Tasco 3x9 scopes.
I will say one thing, they are very accurate. I sometimes take one of them when I squirrel hunt by myself.
The only thing I didn't like was the safety. It moved the opposite way. I did hear that rifles that come to America now, have a reversed safety. I don't know how true this is , though.
