| I was going to suggest a 410 also. You really can't hunt much with a .22 but they are alot of fun and cheap ammo. Bows are great fun, but 8 is probably too young. You are more likely to hurt yourself or someone else with a bow than you are a gun in my opinion.

| Sorry if this is duplicated, but I thought I'd share an opinion, but don't have time to read all replies. Definitely a .22 is what your 8 yr old (if you choose to allow) boy should have. It provides hours of fun at minimal (ammo) cost...approximately $.05 per round. It sounds like you're apprehensive about the whole gun thing for an 8yr old, so I have to ask if he's been introduced to a typical BB or pellet gun? Assuming he has, I would recommend a lever action .22 youth rifle...you probably won't find a better value than the Henry Youth model: http://www.henryrepeating.com/rifle-lever-youth.cfm I recommend the lever action because of its built in safety design. Unlike other rifles it has no "safety" mechanism, which I constantly forget about, it's design is inherently designed in....quite simply, if the loading mechanism (lever) isn't "cocked", it can't fire. If it is cocked, it's live. I was always taught to never #### it until ready to fire, which is a lot easier for a young one to remember than the "safety" switch on a typical rifle. Aside from all that...lev action rifles IMO are the coolest looking/acting rifles out there, but I'm prejudiced having Roy Rogers andbthe Lone Ranger as my hero's during my youth. sockgirl77 likes this. |

Good choice. Once he shows maturity with that he can move up. | |
