CZ Scout is a dandy first 22 if you can find one.
bought a Zastava Remngton model five youth rifle for my grandson. 5 shot magazine, and a single shot follower.
16 inch barrel. amazing accuracy for a "cheap" gun.
These would be my two choices. I bought my 8 yr old a Zastava "youth" .22 and even my 5 yr old daughter can shoot it pretty well.
Jim,
Yes both are good choices, with a Huge edge going to the CZ Scout.
BUT if your 10-22 is too heavy for him, both of these will be too heavy also. Being a rimfire junkie and having two kids... i tried several. The Crickett can not hold a candle to the Savage Rascal (have the Rascal, had the Crickett). Unlike the Crickett...the Rascal has a safety, feed ramp, real scope bases (avail. thru Savage), a much better trigger, and a better receiver sight. The regional mart (Bi-mart) has Rascal's for $139.
