I'm looking for a good "first" rifle for my 11 year old daughter to learn the mechanics of shooting. I like the idea of a single shot bolt action in the .22 caliber. She's almost as tall as her mother and can probably handle an adult long gun especially since our first couple of months will likely be spent at a bench rest. I'm not concerned if she grows out of it quickly; just another chance to bond when we go shopping for that next long gun. On the other hand, if she decides the idea of shooting is better than actual shooting, I don't want to be out a lot of $$.
I toyed around with the idea of a Marlin 60, Henry levergun, and CZ452. All great guns that would be perfect for ME, but none of those long guns fit what I want for her, at least during her "training."
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Anyone have experience with the Crickett brand rifles? What about the Rossi's?
