Hello all. I took my wife (and a bag of balloons) to the local indoor range this weekend and rented her a little bolt action 22 with 6 round clip. This was her first time shooting and you should have seen the grin on her face when she popped her first balloon! Anyway I think it would be a good idea for me to get a 22 rifle to have on hand to introduce friends and relatives to shooting. It's a very mild, yet fun caliber. My AR-15 is "scary" to some and my 45 ACP pistol is too much of a kick. Can anyone recommend a good beginners rifle. I'm thinking either Bolt or Lever action. Something not too expensive (a couple hundred), but fairly accurate. Also, what do you say to people who don't "see much point in shooting if they don't hunt or want to kill animals?" I mean, it's fun.. What else can I say? I mean some people don't buy the fact that every American should handle a firearm at least once in their lives. They're an integral part of this country and its heritage.
