Just my opinion,but I bought my grand sons a bolt action 22any brand [decent tho] to insure they know the basics,and make the first shot count because there may not be another. I found that a semi auto gives a false notion .[If I don't hit it this time I can hit it with the next shot] and the consecutive shots are almost sprayed. Start   'em right the first time ,Its too hard to unlearn  'em.        Gordo

Thanks Gordo I never looked at it that way. Make the first shot count.

 

I agree whole-heartedly Gordo. My favorite choices for my Boy Scout range sessions are the Winchester M/67 & M/68. Not only are they single shot but you also must hand cock the hammer for each shot.
