Suppressed youth rifle? Updated with pics!
My daughter is showing interest in shooting. Simply because I can, I'm going to set up whatever I get for her with a can. With that in mind, the barrel has to be large enough in diameter that Bert can put 1/2" -28 threads on it.
I've looked at the Cricket, and I also see Savage has some youth models. I want a bolt action, don't care if it's a repeater or a single shot. Does it make any sense to buy an adult model with a wood stock and cut it down? Anyone have experience with any of these?
I'll run a red dot for her, so it would be nice if the receiver were drilled for a pic rail. If not, Bert can do that, too.
In the end, it must be pink. It can come that way, or I'll do it. I'd like to keep it cheap.
Yes, a suppressed Cricket is silly. That's the fun!

While I commend you for getting her started young, please re-think your stance on hearing protection.

I'd love to. And it was just a suggestion, not a judgement.
I'm quite positive you wouldn't put her in any compromising situations, and it was not my intention to offend you.
