wanted Birthday .22lr

[jct231]

I have a nephew with a birthday right around the corner and I am looking for a decent .22lr plinking rifle to give him for his first gun.

Nothing fancy and nothing "tactical"...  something between $200 - $300 with iron sights would be ideal.

A left hand bolt would be awesome!

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

Both of my sons started out on Marlin bolt actions. One shot at a time teaches the importance of sight alignment and trigger pull. The Marlins are excellent rifles, tack driver accurate and not too expensive.

That's I'm looking for...a training tool more than anything.

The local pawn shop has a Marlin and a Savage bolt action I've been eyeing but I wanted to check with TGO before I bought from them.

Pawn shops steal souls lol

One and only bump before I just breakdown and go buy a new one...

No one has an old reliable .22 just sitting around that they would part with?
