I'm a couple years out from buying a relative a first gun and a thread lately had me thinking about a few things; so here are the questions:
1. .22lr seems to be the obvious choice but is there another thought I should consider?
2. 10-22's are very common so I would like to find a more unique rife, ideas?
3. Bolt, lever or simi?
4. Engraved or otherwise personalized or left stock?
(4 is of the most interest to me. I often see first guns and heirlooms being sold, would an engraving help discourage that in a time of need?).
Any other points to ponder?
