Just wanted to write a quick review for my daughters new savage rascal.
She is 5 1/2 and the wife and I decided it was time for her to be allowed to shoot. Especially since I needed a summer activity for my daughter and I.
SFRC had them in stock in pink so I ordered one.
And yes always deal
With them. Great customer service. Nice simple website and ordering process.
Got the Rascal in the mail about a week later and took it to the range.
Functions perfectly. I test fired it. Out of the box can hit a dime up to 20 yards with the iron peep sight.
My only critique about the rifle is that it has a spring loaded plastic feed ramp. I like the idea and I understand it's there to make it easy for kids to place a cartridge on it and close the action and feed the round into the chamber. For that it works perfectly. But when closing the bolt it provides a bit of resistance and forces the user to close the bolt with a bit extra force.
It became much smoother after even 30 rounds so it's almost a non issue.
The overall quality of the rifle seems excellent. The stock is the perfect fit and also great quality. The bolt knob is small and perfect for little hands. The safety is easy to use for my 5 1/2 year old daughter.
The accutrigger didn't need adjusting and seems the perfect pull weight for my daughter.
Shot Remington cb, cci quiet, Winchester bulk 333 packs, and cci shorts all shot accurate and fed and ejected perfect.
I have read some negative reviews regarding QC, but that was not an issue for me.
So anyone looking for a kids first gun... This is the perfect solution.
First time out and she functioned the rifle perfectly and maintained all the safety rules.
She even hit the target.

I have a hunch it will be passed-on to the next generation. Great starter gun for kids.
