heck all, let me just say thanks for all the post/feedbacks on all your .22 recommendations.
So today right after work, I headed to Sportsman warehouse, which they had the CZ Scout, Rugers, marlins and the Henrys.
So after about 3 hours and allot of patients, I almost 98% was about the purchase the cz scout for 199.00.
The only flaw which I wanted them to add was a full clip, all it had was the single shot clip. They did not have additional clips for that cz.
So as I pulled out the empty wallet, a son 14yrs old and pops walked by and asked what I was looking for. I said my sons 1st .22. Son really liked the CZ and added great feedback on it, but they were telling me to lean to the cheapest .22 they had, which was the Marlin 795. I told them I felt it was little to big, but dad was saying that the recoil on these .22s are nothing and kids will grow quick after they hit 9yrs old. He really highly recommend that I get the bigger .22 cal out of the bunch and cheap in price point. So after chat w/ them for about 35 minutes or so, I budge to the 795 rifle. Dad told me he will grow into it quick and said that I will thank him later.
So I purchased the marlin 795 for $109.00 and bought 100 rounds of CCI Mini MAG 22long for only $4.00 WOW!!!!
If worse comes to shove, I can always keep the 795 for myself and get my son the short .22 cal, but I feel he will manage w/ the 795.
His grandpa in LA chatted w/ me some this evening (about 30 minutes ago) and when my son was with him last summer he was shotting a remington 597 there , which I did not know. hahahaha
So I think this will not be a challenge for him.
So once again all, thank you for your feedback.
Sincerely,
-A proud father
