My youngest turns 10 in a few weeks. He loves to shoot, but has issues w/ the legnth of pull, weight, and seeing the sights(scopes) clearly on most .22's. I bought him a IMC2 1985 made 1969 trainer .22 bolt Rifle. Nice light rifle w/ 25,50, and 100 meter leaf rear sight. It has been sitting in my FFL's vault since he bought it new years ago. I thought $90.00 was a fair deal and Ethan has a gun that he will surely get some use out of. He should be very surprised.
