Help me out. My dad and I want to split a single shot 22 rifle for my nephew on his 12th birthday. Any suggestions? My dad has suggested a Steven's Favorite as he had one when he was a boy but I'm not sure of the quality on Savage's copy. My suggestion is a TC Contender carbine (cost?) as it gives him the ability to add different barrels to suit his needs. Any suggestions?
Best Single Shot 22 for a youth?

If you're looking for something cheap you might want to try the Rossi 22/410 combo.
I bought one for one of my boys when he turned 6. Nice gun. Reliable and accurate.
Good Luck,
Michael

I'd rate the CZ Scout .22 as the tops for a young man to learn how to shoot. But he may grow out of it prematurely.

My dad has one made by Marlin (I think it's called a papoose IIRC). Myself, 3 brothers, 4 nephews, and many cousins and friends learned on it. It's small enough that I can't hardly shoot it anymore, but it fits kids perfect.
We've put 1000's of rounds through it, never a problem, and I've got another nephew that's soon to be introduced.

Another vote for the little CZ.

I agree with MaterDei. The Rossi is a dandy. (the 410 does kick)
It's surprisingly accurate.
The CZ Scout is also a great choice. Way accurate and you can get 5 and 10 round clips for it.
My son has both and I have shot both plenty. Pretty good starters.
The Rossi is a tad less convenient off a rest as it's a break open.
Based on my studies there are several good little 22 youth models out there and I would suggest you use the search function to turn up additional info.
