Type of action for youth .22

[luvcatchingbass]

I'm getting into the same boat here. I have a 5 yr old (at the end of the month), a 2.5 yrs old and 8 mo old. I am trying to figure out what I should be looking at getting them. I want "their" first gun to be one they keep. So looking for one for me to get that they can shoot. I have a savage 17hmr the 5 yrs old has shot, but he has a problem with it being a bull barrel. Have a 10/22, but don't like the semi auto portion of it. Thought about getting a 22 cricket, just dont know.

My dad bought a 22 Cricket awhile back, before he had grandchildren, so I have shot it a few times and they are kind of neat. Going to be taking my 4yr daughter out one of these days to see how she does.
I am lucky enough that we have quite the array of .22 from old single shot and clip Remington 700, lever actions, and semi auto rifles and pistols that will be passed down so I can cover everything from little to adult kids.

That's a damn nice gun Huff. Perfect IMHO.
