    She has been shooting my mossberg 715t with assistance for a few years she can safely handle it on her own now I am considering the bolt action single shot mainly because I want to take her hunting when she is old enough so gets used to shot placement I'm not going to lie my main motivation for the ruger is I want to get her a magpul hunter stock so it matches my Remington 700

    My daughter has a Savage Cub slingle shot bolt action with with a Boyds thumb hole stock. Pretty accurate and fits her great. But she is also very small for her age.

    I wouldn't get it just for that, what if you change the stock and she doesn't like the feel of the rifle and can't shoot it worth a shit? Then you're stuck with a daughter with a gun she doesn't like and can't shoot but you 2 will match like Paris Hilton and a rat-dog. Don't use your daughter to accessorize, get her a rifle that will be good for her, take her to a range and rent a few different ones and see what she likes and what she shoots best.

    I don't know if they're still making them but I bought a Daisy Legacy for my son's first rifle. Single shot bolt action with an adjustable stock for growth. Lasted him for several years.

    I have a Remington 514, single shot, bolt action. It is easily one of the simplest and most fun guns to shoot that I own. I will never outgrow the rifle and it makes for a great rifle to teach new shooters.

    You can get an adult stock for a crickett rifle. Plenty of adults enjoy shooting them too.

    I started with a 10/22... many moons ago.. I still have it. Pretty sure I've never cleaned it. It still shoots just fine.

    That being said when I took the gf's kid out shooting for the first time... he shot the 15/22 and was grinning ear to ear. Of course he also shot the .300 sbr suppressed and had the same reaction... I don't advise getting them into the NFA game yet... Unless.. you want one.. or twenty.

    I picked up a Savage Rascal for my boy for his birthday this summer. It's an excellent little rifle with the Savage accu-trigger. It's been accurate and I appreciate the single shot bolt action forcing him to slow down between shots. He's definitely a fan of it but it's still a little big for him at 5 years old.

    I'd look at the Ruger American myself.

    Default Which .22 for a kid

    The first rifle I ever fired was a Winchester model 62. Rossi makes (or made) a copy that my little brother has. Read Taurus might also. Great little backpack rifle. Solid takedown. Accurate. Small. Fires 22lr, 22l, and 22s.
