As the title indicates, I'm looking for a starter 22LR for my 10 year old grandson. I'm more into handguns, so I have little to no experience with rifles.
First a stupid question, what is the difference in a 10/22 and a regular 22. I did a google search on 10/22, and all that came back was 22LR info. Is the 10/22 the same as 22LR?
Second, what do you suggest as a good starter rifle. I saw a Marlin 66 (I think that was the model) that I thought might be good, but not sure. I thought that the tube feed would be better than a mag feed to start with, but I am looking for suggestions, so I am open to all thoughts. I want to mount a scope on it for him, so suggestions of a scope would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any assistance/advice you can furnish.
