I bought my 9 year old his first .22. I got him a JC Higgins Single Shot Bolt Action. Took it out and it shoots about 6' to the left. The front sight is fixed and the rear sight can only be adjusted up and down & not left to right. The guy at the gun shop said to "bend the barrel" just a wisker to help it out. I figured I would scope it. I have never bent a rifle barrel and sure would hate to screw it up. What do you think.
