Default RE: Rifle Suggestions

There was a small youth 22 bolt I saw called the cricket, but I didn't like itsince it didn't have any kind of feed ramp. It was a true single shot, and you had to manually place the bullet all the way into thechamber holeinthe flat breech plate before closing the bolt. Pretty awkward for anyone, and especially frustating for a beginner.

I have never bought a 22 bolt and I can't remember the make or model of the one my Dad used to teach me with. It's so old that I'm sure they don't make it anymore anyway. It had detachable 5 or 7 round mags and anice narrow grip for small hands. That's agood way to go, but I'm not familiar with manymodern 22 bolts that may have the same features.

Good luck.
Post when you get one.
