I've got an assortment of 22's, including a Henry lever. Some are scoped, some ain't and the grandkids get to learn iron sights first, including a Savage Rascal with that neat aperture rear sight. Then they can get familiar with the scoped stuff. Lots of kids today start out with scopes and never really learn irons. Being proficient with irons is something of an art form to some kids. To them it's like they've mastered some type of lost art from ancient times. Like what we dinosaurs used eons ago. This dinosaur gets a kick out of them marveling over it.
