Cricket, Chipmonk, AR 22, kid 22....Suggestions???

My 3.5yo had his first range trip today.

He shot my 22 but of course it is to long of LOP for him.

Looking to buy him a chipmonk, cricket, or ???

What has good quality, accuracy, good trigger(aftermarket if needed), can mount a scope?

Just bought my kids a cricket. It shoots straight I shot it and hit first target I was aiming at.

Mine has a Savage Rascal. Same dimensions as the Cricket but has an Accutrigger.

Started my son on a Crickett... but if I was in the market today, I would get the Savage Rascal. Same manual of arms as a standard bolt rifle, and better trigger.

Rascal. I’ll be buying one soon. A heavy trigger is potentially safer, but the triggers on the crickets are in my experience messing with a couple much much to heavy to teach a kid to shoot with. A kid doesn’t need a 2lb Trigger, but they don’t need a 10lb Trigger either. The rascal has an accutrigger that is well worth it.

I couldn’t agree more on the trigger. After some reading.....I will be picking up a Rascal.

I got my Grandkids a Rascal as that was all that was available at the time on the shelf. Two of them have cut their shooting teeth on them. Good little rifle.

CZ Scout is a nice little rifle.

Savage Rascal.

Yes and yes.

Savage Rascal. Multiple colors available and I agree on the Accutrigger is a benefit.

I started mine with with Savage rascal but as soon as they can handle a 10-22 move them up. It's a gun they will keep for Life!

We got a rascal for them to start out on and share....at the right age/time we get them their own 10-22....
