a kid's .22

I bought a Henry mini bolt for my 8 year old daughter - is an excellent shooter - as and aside I have dealt with henry in the past on a different issue and they have absolutely excellent customer service.
 
Last week end, I tried randomly 200 rounds of Remington Peters,
in my old Cooey 60, and my Savage Rascal
=100 round in each rifle.
Conclusion:
Savage rascal = 5 rounds required second cocking.
Cooey 60 = 0, not a single issue.

Savage Rascal, still have a 5% misfire rate.
Acceptable ?
Not when you`re not use to.

By the way; accuracy was fine: I was shooting 7-10 rounds grouping for the fun of it at 50 yards=
the best I got was 1.5 inch.

Cooey Chipmunk - single shot, bolt action. Great value for the $$$. See Clay at Prophet River Firearms...he usually has a few in stock. You can get pkg deal with scope/rings/case for good price.

I have a 17HMR for my 2 boys in the LS stock and a friend just got his boy a SS model in .22 in the pkg deal this past fall.
 
Savage Rascal, it even comes in pink, or a 10/22 if you want a semi. Just don't get a cooey 60 i had one, damn thing never worked worth a heck, only feeding problems though so u will be fine with a single shot

Well me and 2 of my friends had cooey 60s, and none of them worked worth a damn. I avoid those like the plague but other people say they are great, so i don't know anymore. I will stick with my 10/22 which has had 1000s of rounds shot through it and 1 jam, my brother has a savage 64 and it doesn't like certain ammo it will only fire every second one and then it shoots thunderbolts flawlessly, maybe the rascal is picky too
 
I bought a Rascal for my son for Xmas and it hasn't misfired in 200 rounds. In fact, I would take the misfires from my 10/22 and load then into the Rascal and blast them off.

Its kind of funny i do that with my 10/22 when my brother's savage 64 misfires
 
I have two daughters both with their own .22, a TC hotshot and a savage rascal. The Rascal is SO much more bang for the buck. The TC is overpriced junk, loose sights, thin bluing, and a gigantic hole of a peep sight. The Rascal is a different story altogether, parked, easily adjustable sights, an actual safety. Get the rascal it is a WAY better rifle.
 
My son is in outdoor retail... he says they have sold dozens of Rascal's and have not had a single warranty return... I think they are a solid choice.

I put this one together for my daughter;

 
My boy shoots a Marlin XT-22 YS1 single shot. Fits him well, good fiber optic sights, great trigger.
