I actually just read an article on this gun I found in one of the gun magazines I had lying around the house.
I looks to be the ideal rifle for youngsters. Its accurate, light (3.5Lbs) and very nicely compact. I belive they mentioned that it retailed for $170US. I think for that amount of $$$ you can't really go wrong.

Its a great gun for youngsters, especially beginners! I bought one at Bass Pro for my six year old son to shoot. I taught him safe firearm handling including how to prove the firearm safe. He shoots and reloads that bolt action rifle like a machine - his fingers are just the right size to handle and load the small .22lr cartridges. Now that he is quite proficient, I let him use the Ruger 10/22 - krinker plinker converted rifle with I had built with an Eotech holographic sight and a 50 round magazine and magazine loading device. Although he enjoys shooting the krinker plinker, he still likes the simplicity and weight of the Henry Mini-bolt. Perfect size and weight for my six year old. Easy to operate and very safe - one shot at a time.

They are a great little gun for little people. I picked this one over the Savage and chipmunk rifles. The contrasting sights are easy to explain to kids and really glow, enough that I tape the top of the rear sight to dull them a bit.
It is only 3.5lbs so I was thinking of taking it with me for hunting in the mountains just for grouse and ptarmigan.
I would recommend them.
