They had a pink single shot Crickett at my local store for 109.99$ last week
+1 for Cricket... Best $100 I spent on the nephew
I like the single shot guns that have a hammer. With a setup like that, there is no question of whether or not it is cocked, all you have to do is look. Seems to me to be about the safest. Savage makes one, Rossi makes one, I think Harrington and Richardson make one, and there may be a couple others. I started both of my nephews out on a Rossi combination single shot 22/20 gauge for around $140. A couple of years later they got semi automatic 22's.

I got a Crickett for my daughter a year ago, and almost immediately found out that the Savage Rascal comes with the Accu-Trigger. And it costs very little more. I'd go with the Rascal if I did it over again.
Agree, took the kids out for the first time today using my daughters Cricket, they both loved it! Now my son wants a rile for his birthday.
I got a Remington 514 single shot bolt action for my 9 year old. I think it was $119.
I started my son with a Cricket at 6 he had a red rider bb gun before that. Medlocks in Colinsville carry them they are a great gun and are sized right for them.
