Mossberg 801 Half-Pint,,,
Click here please.
I have friend who bought this rifle for his young boy,,,
It has proved itself as a very good shooter.
The nice thing is that it's actually a mag fed repeater,,,
It comes with a single-shot magazine plug,,,
But also takes the 802 Plinkster mags.
His boy pops clay pigeons at 50 yards all day long,,,
It runs $180.00 at budsgunshop.com.
There is also the
Henry Mini-Bolt,,,
It is an excellent single-shot youth rifle.
It's a bit pricier at $211.00,,,
But in my opinion it is a fine shooter.
But like everyone else has pointed out,,,
A Savage bolt action rifle is a good choice as well.
I wouldn't go the single-shot route though,,,
For some wacky reason the single-shot Mk-I costs more than a mag fed Mk-II.
I own a Savage MK-II F that I bought at Wal Mart for $147.00,,,
Now the Wal Mart version
does not have that Savage Acu-Trigger.
But mine is a very straight shooting gun,,,
Well worth the small price I paid for it.
Hope this helps,,,
