My first grandson is 16 months old now and I have purchased his first rifle for him, A really clean Stevens Favorite single shot .22 rimfire. My gunsmith and I are going to mount a 17A lyman globe and a tang sight by pendersoli up on it here shortly. Make it look like a little sharps or shutzen rifle. I had it out last fall and does the little thing shot well for notch rear and blade front. It small light and as close to perfect for a kid as possible to learn with. My daughter is excited to see him with grandpa. This summer we will be hitting the farm ponds for bluegills the rifle will have to wait for a few years. LOL. Time to start making those memories all over again.
