Twelve Pointer
Any advice provided is appreciated in advance.
My son had joined the shooting team at his middle school. I am proud of his efforts and desire to take on this challenge. However he is struggling a little with the .22 marlin he is using. It is an older firearm and was given to him by my FIL. I believe that the gun may be a little heavy and on the long side for his use in competition - therefore he is struggling with accuracy and I fear he is becoming discouraged.
I need some recommendations on a .22 rifle that a youth can handle and grow with. The 10/22 models have my interest with their modular designs and ability to be customized. I do not have a lot of money for this project, nor do I believe that he needs a high end match grade firearm. But I want something that will be appropriate for him to use and provide reliable accuracy for him to compete with.
So which .22 models should I be looking at.
