I'm about to get my nephew his first real gun and want it to be a .22 rifle. I remember learning to shoot using a Sears bolt action .22 (for anyone not old enough to remember, there really was a Sears branded rifle, though I think it was made by Remington for Sears) and I'm thinking that a bolt is the best way to get a 7 year old into the basics of good marksmanship and safety. I'd be happy to hear any opinions pro or con on this approach.
