They used to call them "Boy's Rifles", but my daughter and granddaughter smack me in the arm when I refer to them that way.
I picked up a NIB Savage Cub this week for the grand kids. It's a classic little bolt action, single shot .22, short, long or long rifle with a short stock. It reminded me of the rifles we had at Camp Betz for boy scouts, except those weighed 8 pounds and had a trigger with a 34 pound weight ... or at least it seemed that way when I was 11.
The nice thing is, it has the Savage Accu Trigger and is only 3 pounds, so they should be able to handle it. It has a nice peep sight and you can add a scope later when they get the basics down and grow into using it.
Anyone have any experience with it? Suggestions? Cautions?
