[QUOTE="B1s BmagX2, post: 2267923, member: 116037"] I'm not sure what you're looking for? Boys that young, and I'm only guessing, are probably wanting to learn to shoot? Although I had my first 22 when I was 8. If you can find an older Marlin 39a 22 for a decent price I'd jump on it like "white on rice"! I owned one years ago and I kick myself in the arse for ever parting with it. The Henry's are great, but the older Marlins are very well made and accurate. Like the previous threads are saying the new Marlins are too **** expensive!! For bigger bore, I'd go, Henry, Winchester, Marlin, etc. For deer, the good old 30-30 or 35 Remington are great for moderate ranges with tolerable recoil. Keep in mind though the straight-stocked rifles are going to have more felt recoil than a standard "pistol" grip stock. [/QUOTE]
