Re: Looking for an inexpensive trainer.
A basic Ruger 10/22 is pretty inexpensive. Over time you can easily upgrade parts towards making it more of a precision rifle.
The fact that it is so common means that parts, accessories, and modifications are plentiful.

Ready go! </div></div>I have a standard barrel Mk II, and it is very accurate. I don't much like the curved magazines, but they work ok. I find that if I zero my point of aim to point of impact at 50 yards, shooting standard HV ammo, the same POA and POI is achived with CCI Stingers at 100 yards. It is a basic .22 bolt action, but well worth the money I paid for it. Hope you find what your looking for.

Well, if you are looking for REALLY inexpensive and if memory serves, during the early days of WW1 they used broomhandles as trainers. Dunno how "tacticool" this will be but it certainly will be cheap.

Stevens 300; or the Savage MKIIF instead (if you want the adjustable trigger). Both are good choices for their costs. My aging Savage MKIIF is pre-AccuTrigger, and is functionally identical to the current Stevens 300, the grey Stevens stock notwithstanding.
If I could afford to outfit a new youth rifle team, my choice would be Stevens 300's with Tasco 6-24x42M scopes. I see no compromise in such a solution, the components would stand well, IMHO, on their own.
