Kinda funny. I think my boys are more excited to get to shoot our crack shot 26 then they are to shoot the 10-22 next week on vacation.

Very nice! (I wouldn't mind trying it out myself!).

I bought my youngest son a 10-22 when he was 5. Of course when he started off I held the rifle when he shot and watched him like a hawk. Bad thing about starting off a kid with a semi-auto is the Rambo "pray and spray". He is 37 and still shoots that way. I love him to pieces but I wish I had started him off with a single shot or at least a bolt action......

A rifle like that old Stevens is a much better way to get kids into shooting - AND it's a CLASSIC. Have fun!

I've got a Hopkins & Allen 922 falling block circa 1890's and the grandkids love shooting it. So do I but then it is a really cool old gun.

Little Evey has to have someone help her hold it, it was a shutzen version before someone cut the big brass "Swiss" buttplate off of it but it still has it's 27 inch full octagon barrel and she's just turned 6 so even with the stock shortened it's longer than she is tall. ;)

That's very true. I don't blame them ether. But there is a little bit of a back story to the 10-22. A year ago they shot my cuz's semi auto 22. They loved it. I haven't herd the end of how we needed one since then. I got lucky on finding this 10-22 for $100 and couldn't pass on it. It just struck me as funny and actually proud that they have an understanding of old guns.

I don't have too many 22's but let me tell ya. I prefer the oldies for sure. I have a stainless w/walnut stock 10/22 and I can't tell you the last time it was fired. Maybe 5 years ago. My Henry is cool but naaa. I always grab my Winchester Model 1906. Just fun shooting what to me feels like a piece of history.
