[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1375772, member: 100"] Aw hell, just get them each a Mosin Carbine and a case of surplus ammo from Century, J&G or wherever they're cheap. By the time they finish the case, they'll be "Flinch proof" ;) Or, on second thought, see if you can get a deal on two 10/22's at a pawn shop. If you can stay close to $100 per rifle, this gets each boy his OWN rifle at a price that won't make you flinch when they drop them on rocky ground. And, they can "earn" accessories/ barrels/ optics/ whatever, as they grow, which will help to foster the next generation of gun catalog junkies, like all of us. I know that many guys stand by the adage of a .22LR bolt gun first, but firearms safety can be taught just as well with a single shot as with a repeater. And .22LR bolt guns can get a bit boring for kids as well as adults. Don't forget to start collecting safe target material.
