Kids' rifles for adults...

[Vee3]

I have a small collection of .22 "Boys' rifles" I enjoy shooting. An early Stevens Favorite (no pic), a Savage 1909...



Remington Mod 24...



CZ 452 Scout...



Win 62A (not really a kid's rifle but it was my 1st at 8 years old)...



And now waiting at the shop for me to pick up, a wood stocked Savage Rascal...



Sure was a lot easier to make excuses for buying them before my Son could shoulder a Garand.

The only thing with the Rascal is the rear sight does not offer much adjustment, too bad. The Rascal is ridiculously light though, unlike many other youth models they have a very light profile barrel, the whole things seems like a great kit gun once you get past the sight issues. If there were an easy way to inlet it for a mag conversion that would be awesome.

I love .22s as well, both my kids have a rascal, a 62A, and a Marlin 795.

Old .22s are the best, everyone should have one, man, woman, and child.

Love the Rascal too. My son is a deadeye with it. Great little gun.

Been lusting for a 62A for awhile now.

Friend of mine likes the Henry youth model over the standard H001

The rascals look great and I've been thinking of buying one. how much it set you back? I have a Winchester 74 in .22 short and a Remington 521 Junior Targetmaster. Both are supposed to be kids guns but they're bigger than a lot of modern adult marketed .22's!

i just picked up a remington 12-c pump - it eats shorts like a champ and wow is she accurate. not sure if she qualifies as "boys" rifle but I got jealous watching this thread

Just recently jailed a Marlin XT

It's fun to shoot these things. And my daughter will like the Marlin as she picked it. I might also get the CZ soon.

Buds had the hardwood stock for $184 a few weeks ago when I ordered it. I see they've gone up to $194 now. They have the plastic ones for ~$160.

I'll probably add ~2" to the stock and keep it with my camping gear as a dead simple rifle my Wife, Son and I can all plink/hunt with. I have an air rifle we take camping but the Rascal seems like a nice gun to supplement it. With an assortment of CCI CB Longs, some bulk junk and Stingers it might even replace it.

A couple years ago my brother and I bought two Crickett rifles for his boys, and they are just plain fun to shoot - especially with the CB and quiet loads.
