[QUOTE="CAScotsman, post: 2429642, member: 109027"] An inexpensive interim solution could be a single shot rifle: Henry Singleshot or NEF Handi Rifle in 243/7mm-08, etc. I started my son on the latter at about 11 years old. 243, 20" bull barrel, thick honeycomb soft rubber but pad, 100 grain Nosler Partitions. Today in CA it would have to be ~80 grain copper rounds. He settled into it pretty quick and took his first pig with it. Simple, accurate, and safe in the field carried hammer down. They have to manually cock it to fire. Many available used. Then you can save your build/rebuild $ for something better when they are big enough to handle it, We never sold it as we knew there would be grand kids needing it someday. Very accurate and flat shooting thus always useful for target/steel/silhouette/coyote/prairie dog work. [/QUOTE]
