Kids (again) with Pix

[iofneedle]

I've posted in the past about my teen girl and boy wanted to learn to shoot. It was agreed that a 22 rifle was the way to go. Unfortunately, one kid is right handed and the other left. So, I am thinking a 10/22 that they can share over a single shot bolt action. She is 13 years old about 5'3" and he is 17 about 5'7".

Any suggestions on make and model?

As always, thanks for your input.

My friend just bought the new Ruger American bolt action for his kids. They love it and plenty of room to grow with it.

Everyone needs to own at least one Ruger 10/22

Your lefty will adapt

10/22. Smple enough. See if they like it and shoot it enough. If yes then upgrade them to something fancy. Worst case scenario you gain a 10/22. We all need a 10/22 in the collection.

I like the ruger American I got.

I have a Ruger Take-down that gets little to no love when the S&W 15-22 goes with to the range, my daughter's (now 14 y.o.) favorite gun to shoot.

I think FS has the 10/22 on sale for under $200. It has been said over and over that everyone should have at least one.

Love my 10/22, and so does my wife. So even if your kids end up hating it, you can plink the steal pig from a 100 yards with it all day, lol.

I like a Browning BLR for these circumstances. Good luck with the kids. Glad they share an interest in 2A.

what about eye dominance? make sure of their eye dominance.
a 10/22 is a very good opption if they don't catch the shooting bug its a easy gun to re sell.

10/22 will be good for right and left handed. Bolt gun would be hard for the lefty. I'm right handed but shoot rifle lefty. That's why I bought a 10/22. Best of luck
