Noob with rifles

I suggest the Henry H001. Its a safe, well made, fun gun to shoot that will give you years of service.

X2 on the lever guns.
Always fun to shoot and saves ammo compared to a semi-auto

My wife and daughters shot a MP 22 and a 10/22. They really get into it.

I vote for the 10/22. mod it if you get bored. I still love mine & it's still my son's favorite @ 100yds .

so weird, this is not the first time I hear of gals preferring lever actions. And these aren't tom-boy girls either, we're talking pink, crochet, and arts-n-crafts. And they choose leverguns.

I wonder why that is? Dreams of pioneer woman?

According to my girl friend, she likes to control when the brass gets ejected with the lever action vs how the semi auto ejects brass and potentially hits her in the face. I don't question it, if thats what it takes for her to come to the range with me, then so be it. The 10/22 that I bought for her to use just sits in the safe.
