Got my little guy a future present

[Justincase]

I've been looking for a Browning BL-22 for my little guy for a while now, but couldn't get past the $550 price tag, and maybe $499 if you were to find it on sale. I noticed there's a $100 rebate right now, so I stopped at Dicks on a whim cuz I had a coupon, and they had one marked down to $479. Hmm, not bad. So the guy scanned the tag just to be sure the price was good, and it rang up $383 on clearance! Nice! So, after the rebate and tax, $317 bucks. Not bad. They did have one more at the Orchard Park location in case anyone is interested.

He's 5. Not sure how long I'll wait to give it to him. I think this or next Christmas it'll be the Red Ryder, then I have a Rossi single shot 22 for him. Nothing fancy, so I'll see how he treats it and takes to it. Then the Browning once he shows he can use it properly and not mangle it. Probably be sitting in the safe for at least three or four years before he gets it.

Lol. This age is the best. They just say exactly what's on their mind, and they're perspectives are fantastic.

Best little 22. Short stroke on lever. Very nice.

I've been taking my grandson out shooting for a year now, he turned six June 21st. He can load all of the guns he shoots.

1942 Winchester 62A, the Browning 22 lever action, all of the 22lr, 22magun & 17HMR rifles, the single-shot Ithaca model 49s, the Ruger Mark 2 pistols, the ruger single six revolver, pretty muck every gun I take out to shoot.

I bought some mini Aguilla 12 gauge shotgun shells, he can load the old Iver Johnson single-shot shotgun, cock it and shoot it.

Some kids are ready way before others when it comes to firearms, I started him out with the Red Rider them a Gamo Big Cat pellet gun, them on to a Mossberg single shot 22.

The nice thing about the Red Ryder is you two can shoot water filled soda cans in the back yard. Shooting balloons keep their attention for a while.


His first time shooting a 22 rifle.



Him shooting a couple of weeks ago, shooting the Iver Johnson 12 gauge with the 7 1/2 shot mini 12 gauge shotgun shells.


Him shooting the Ruger Mark 2

He can take the magazine out, load it, pop it back in, close the action, take the safe off and shoot. Decent too.


Start them young, make it fun for them and be consistent. I always take candy bars for him an myself for when we go shooting and coke on ice. On the way home I stop and buy his ice cream for the trip home.
I shoot up in the Cascade mountains, it just over forty miles from the hour to where we go shooting, I have a half a dozen spots I like to shoot at and I let him pick which spot we go to.
He can shoot better then some of my friends I shoot with, both 22 rifle & handgun.

By all means take him out and keep at it, you'll have the best shooting partner you could possibly want.

That's fantastic. You got yourself a great little shooting buddy. And he's patient for the long ride there and back? Kudos to him. The biggest impediment to getting my son started earlier is my wife. I was amazed she even agreed to me getting the Browning. She doesn't mind that I want him to shoot and hunt eventually, she just wants it to be a long time from now... like when he's 15. I told her that's way too late, and she's coming around. We've already been shooting bb pistols in the back yard and he digs shooting pop cans and zombie targets, lol. On a side note, I got him a bolt action Nerf gun where you load the darts into a cartridge, load the cartridges into a magazine, insert the magazine and chamber and eject each round like a normal bolt action. He can do the whole process now. Kids are so smart

Damn nice score. Nice riffle with a beautiful stock. I wish I'd have bought that gun over my Henry, but the price.
