It is 'HER' .22.<BR/> Took a while to settle on a larger caliber rifle for her - home is rural and I'm not there as much as I'd like... Thought I'd solved that question with a lever action .357, until she decided that my M1 carbine needed to be hers. And pink. <BR/> If you decide to try a shotgun, try the Aguila mini-shells. Much less recoil. Not as much power, of course, but 'some' shotgun is better than none.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-20566777435828227452008-06-14T17:39:00.000-04:002008-06-14T17:39:00.000-04:00Doubletrouble,The youth CZ is the 452 Scout.

It comes with a 1 round "magazine" (really a platform on which to place a single cartridge. 5 and 10 round magazines are available also. (He won't outgrow it like he would a Cricket.) I went with the CZ after a lot of checking around for youth models, and am happy with the decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-47200942297124079262008-06-13T21:26:00.000-04:002008-06-13T21:26:00.000-04:00If I may make a suggestion Breda, if you like the ...If I may make a suggestion Breda, if you like the bolties, follow W.Beard's recommendation.

The stocks are reasonably short, I had to add an aftermarket extender. However, if they are too long, there are so many drop in stocks, including adjustable stocks, that you could find exactly what you want for not much money.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and the 10/22s I have fired are tack drivers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-51703320282504024462008-06-13T17:30:00.000-04:002008-06-13T17:30:00.000-04:00so, that 9 is an old astra? some of those were fin...so, that 9 is an old astra? some of those were fine spanish guns often called the poor man's sig...<BR/><BR/>it might not bring much in cash or trade so you might want to give it a chance if it's not junk...just another capable if unremarkable resident of the arsenal, and as i've predicted before it won't be the last shootie you add.<BR/><BR/>jtc<BR/><BR/>jtcthe pawnbrokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16643081755036536592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-14042741163166104852008-06-13T13:31:00.000-04:002008-06-13T13:31:00.000-04:00Hey!

I personally don't care for lever actions (except for falling-blocks....I like them) But Mrs. Weer'd shot a Henry youth model at a Second Amendment Sisters shoot, and she REALLY liked it.

We're still experiencing problems from the time we extended charity towards a woman who turned out to be a heroin addict. Her friends and enemies think they can show up at all hours and try to beat down our door. They are thwarted for three good reasons. One: I am a locksmith, and the industry has sent me some amazing samples of door securing hardware. Two: I am the premier motorcycle mechanic in the area and I'm carrying credit for a couple dozen chronically short bikers. I'm a "Brother" in seven otherwise adversarial motorcycle groups. That comes in handy when some wannabees think you're easy pickings. Three: My dad is fully conversant in the four rules, and keeps a pistol in the stand next to his chair. I have come in to find him casually holding it, finger in front of the guard. When a couple of friends said they wouldn't come up unless I disarmed him, my response was, "Well I got too many Commie-Democrat friends anyway, I can stand to lose a couple." If He'd shot them, or even menaced them, It'd be one thing. I won't disarm some cause it makes someone else uncomfortable.<BR/><BR/>hell, dad gets a bruise every time he fires anything above .32. Even in practice. You don't see him backing down, "Never mind that Boy! They make medicines for bruises. They make coffins for the alternative." This is a man who seriously wanted me to look into manufacturing 22LR ammo.

Bruce of No Looking Backwards picked one up for his missus and it seems to work for her (don't tell Bruce, but she shoots it better than he does!)<BR/><BR/>Another option would be to find an aftermarket stock for the Model 60 that has a shorter length-of-pull (either adjustable or just smaller). Granted, I just saw a new Model 60 selling for $120 at Bass Pro, so it might be cheaper to just buy a new gun than to get an new stock...<BR/><BR/>BTW, good on you for taking Elizabeth.<BR/><BR/>FWIW, I've only bruised my hands with small-framed Magnum handguns. If you were to go with a full-size 9mm (like, oh, Mike's Astra - never sell a gun, honest) or a good ol' .45 ACP, it should be okay...Jay Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11085873775096542015noreply@blogger.com
