Light weight .22?

[mgkdrgn]

Hello! I'm new to the forum, so I'd like to start out by saying that this is a great forum and I'm happy to be a part of it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last weekend my wife went shooting with me for the first time. She started off a little scary, but after I went over a little technique/safety training she picked it up amazingly quickly. The best part is that she enjoys it!

She likes my little Marlin .22 because it doesn't have any recoil and it has a nice scope on it. She also likes the ergonomics of my AK. However, neither gun is quite right for her because they are both too heavy and the AK recoils too much. Also, both guns are too long for her.

So, I'm looking for something in .22 caliber that has the ergonomics of an assault rifle, can have a scope mounted on it, and is amazingly light and super short!

I enjoy shooting rifles, but my gun knowledge is very limited, so I don't even know if something like that exists or where to start looking. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!!

Maybe something like this?

The Nylon 66 is the most comfortable gun I've ever shot (for me at least). I've had it since I was 9, and while it does jam on occasion, it's had enough rounds put through it without being cleaned properly that I should probably be ashamed myself.

Someone else already posted a link to Feather. I happen to have one of those for sale right now, and while it's very lightweight and wickedly awesome looking, mine is absolute trash, and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone unless I didn't like them, or you want them to learn how to clear jams and be angry all the time.
