Even though it is still warm out, the calendar says that it is time to consider a annual THR question--what gun(s) for El Tejon's nephews?
**********************
Noah--9.5, I have a Smith 317 revolver for him which I traded an FNC and received several Colt 6920s, a bunch of ammo and this revovler. What do you think of this selection for him? He shoots Matt's (my brother) .22 pistols just fine. Is there something he needs instead? Maybe a slide action or underlever .22?
His armory includes: Winchester 67A, CZ 452 Scout, Savage 101, a Compact Ruger 10/22, and a Bushmaster Carbon 15 .22lr.
************************
Josiah--6.5, completely in dark about what to get him. Maybe that Henry youth model underlever? He's a healthy boy but do you think he can manipulate an underlever? He has shot Matt's well-worn 94/22 (that Matt got when we were kids).
His armory: Cricket, Marlin 915YN, and a CZ 452 Scout.
*************************
Obadiah--5, thinking Savage Cub or a blued (to be different than his brother's) Marlin 915. How do kids like that goofy Accutrigger thingy?

Marlin 915: http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/BoltAction22/915y.aspx
Obadiah has been shooting a cricket since he was 4, but "owns" no firearms.
**************************
In addition to the guns, I always get them a .50 cal. can full of .22s. Maybe this year I should get two cans.
So, what do you recommend. Would love to hear for those of you who are parents and have been down this road before!
NO SHOTGUNS!!! (not yet at least)
TIA,
Tio Tejon.
