I don't like kids and semi auto. I don't like a lot of adults with semi autos. 10/22 is a great gun, no doubt, but I went with a CZ 455 for my 9 year old son to learn on.

My first firearm was a single shot, lever action .22, I think my parents got it from a TG&Y dept. store. I shot the heck out of it, and loved every shot. It taught me to go slow & make every shot count.
Back then, westerns were prime time TV on all three channels !

Single shot lever action? Seems contradictory

I actually saw a used one a few months ago. Think it was at the Firing Line.

I grew up with a .22 Ithaca single shot lever gun. I hate the thing. The extractor was broken so after shooting I would use a butter knife to dig out the case. It did teach me to make the first shot count.

My sons first rifles were both Savage. A Mark II f, and a 64. Both inexpensive, durable and accurate. Wouldn't hesitate to buy more based on the experience I've had with these two rifles.

i keep hearing good things about savage on here I always dismissed them they seemed like a cheap version of Remington when I first seen them my only experience with them was a shot gun and I wasn't too impressed I may have to find a range that has a savage .22 that I can rent and see how good it is first hand
