Whats a good .22 for a new shooter?

Question

My girlfriend likes to go shooting with me, the problem is I only have one rifle she is comfortable shooting its a cheap old worn out .22 bolt action. Anyhow i'm probably going to get one for her to shoot, I thought about another AR 15 since they don't kick, but they are a bit heavy and cost a lot.

I was thinking about a .22 semi auto bull barrel of some kind. So if anybody has one they know something about, let me know how you like it!

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If it's in your price range look at the little .22 caliber lever action that

Browning has been putting out for years and years. They may be a bit more expensive (but a nice used one would be great too). I have had mine since I was a kid and I love that gun. It's the lightest, sweetest shooting gun I have and I love it. What is great about it for women and children is the shortness of the lever action. I can literally use one finger and eject the casing with it easily. The lever action is very short (maybe 2 inches). For my kids I put in a Remington shell called a C-Bee if you are not familiar but they are the shortest of shorts and have no report at all. Hope this helps.

I know everyone saying 10/22 but the best 22 is the cz 452 there an awersome bolt action with a wide varity just type cz into google and being a bolt action she will enjoy it more then just loading and pulling the trigger

Remington Nylon, It is a very light, very easily maintained.  I have used one for over 25 years.or the Ruger 10/22. I own both and really like both.  A fun little 22 is the Henry Survival. It was originally made for the Air Force as a survival rifle and called the AR-7. It breaks down into three parts, stock, receiver, barrel. The barrel, 2 clips, and receiver store in the stock  which floats.  I take one camping and fishing with me all the time.  Any one of the three would be good.  But for the Lady I would get the Remington. They come in black or brown, One is clip fed the other tube fed.

Good luck
