Savage Rascal Review..........

[crash277]

I have been looking at getting something like this as well. The Henry and Cricket are also something that I may look at. I like the Savage but the Cricket appears to be built better. My son is 7 so pretty soon I should take him out with me. Who makes good kids earmuffs and glasses? Seems like all that stuff is adult size.

the adult ear muffs dont seem to be an issue for my 7yr old. safety glasses are non existent. i cant find a pair that stays on his face.

Yeah - two of them needed changing striker springs - the ones that they sent me to replace them were considerably stronger.

I do really like the little Rascals - they spent time engineering them for the little people, but still work fine for the big kids too. Remember how difficult it was to #### the old single shot .22s when our fingers lacked strength - and how hard it was to sight the post and notch and how heavy that single shot was on a little boys arms? They fixed all that in the Rascal - and lots of other little things too. Oh - and how hard it was to safely decock and how hard it was to line up a .22 short to get it into the chamber. I wonder about having a hook on it to fit onto my belt - it could hang there while trapping or walking in the bush.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see if I can get a stronger spring.
