cz scout.....
That's what I did to make our 10/22 fit all sizes, add the BLACKHAWK Axiom Stock and an optic and it's a fun little package.We put a collapsible stock on our 10/22, It works for a 4yo up to adult. I think the stock was around $90 at sportsman warehouse
Agree, CZ 457. You can get it in synthetic and it has a nitride finish.I just picked up a CZ 457 American. It’s very nice. Maybe nicer than you want for the 9 year old crowd, but nice enough that it would be used their entire life.
I got mine in 22 WMR. They also have 22 LR and 17 HMR.
This is what I was looking at purchasing to start getting my boys shooting. The oldest is 4.5 yo. The problem I see with this gun is that the LOP is still almost 14". That's seems way too much of a gap for a person that's only 40" tall. Maybe someone that researches this stuff more than me has a recommendation on replacing the stock? I can't find anything.For a bolt action .22LR I really like the Savage Mark II FV-SR. The stock is relatively small and you can add a slip-on pad to increase length of pull as kids grow or for adults to use. I also have a Titan cheek rest on it as the comb drops too low for a good cheek weld when using an optic. I have a Vortex rimfire scope on it right now but will be replacing that with a SWFA 6x MQ when it comes in.
