22 lr for first time shooter

[C&C Outdoors]

Good evening AO members, first off hope everyone is taking in & enjoying the good weather we have been having so far for the long weekend!

Currently looking for a rifle, thinking in 22lr for my son to start shooting this yr. He turned 6 this past december & has accompanied me on pretty much every hunting/camping trip since he was 6 months old, he has loved every minute of it as much as I have from what I have taken in from it.

Wanting to get him his first rifle to start shooting on paper this yr, thinking a scoped 22lr in a bolt action might be the way to go in a wood stock, want it to be something he can hang onto for yrs to come.

Open to all suggestions and even different calibers, thank you in advance
