What's a good .22 for 7 year old?
I posted this a while back but can't find the thread with the search option. My son is a little tall for his age, and shouldered a Marlin 925 at BassPro. It fit him pretty good, it was on thelong side, but not too long, and he'll grow into it. It is a 7 round clip bolt action, which I figure is a perfect combination of him not being able to squeeze off a bunch of rounds at one time (i.e. aim good), but also not having to load each bullet individually.
The problem is it is a pretty heavy gun. I saw a composite they had in about the same size (can't remember the make or model), but it cost about $400, more than twice the price. I'm thinking about getting this Marlin 925 for him unless one of you comes up with a good suggestion on a lighter gun, preferably a bolt action clip.
Thanks!
