That is one of the main advantages of these rifles. We own stainless Savage Axis rifles in .223 and .308, both mounted with 3X-9X Leupold scopes. I started training little Jill with subsonic .22 LR (Remington) so she can concentrate on her target instead of the rifle's report.
Agreed, why not make it fun? You can certainly learn a lot about marksmanship with a .22.
