My 7 year old just got his first gun. it is a Daisy 22lr bolt action. It is a real POS. Stock is coming off, trigger takes him 2 fingers to pull, the grip is too long and made for adult hands, all of the stock is plastic. But he loves it to death. I didnt get to buy it for him, Father in law kinda jumped in front of me with this purchase. He found it at a garage sale and swears it is worth a couple grand. I have an old rem .22 bolt rifle(my first gun) I was going to have a donor stock made to fit him and keep the original stock for when it fits him. The F-I-L beat me to the punch. He loves to shoot none the less and is getting pretty deadly with it. I take him out shooting all the time and he has already graduated to a scope. I take out all of my empty pop cans and fill them with water(you know when you hit one), he can consistently bust 8 out of a 10 round clip at 30 or so yards. If the gun fit him a little better and had a better trigger i'm sure he could do 10for10. I think from here on out I will be in charge of giving the little ones firearms.
