Yes, she looks like a keeper, but even though she was game enough to try a Matchlock, she thought it was
dangerous at both ends.

I had a friend once...Come on Andy, we know you don't have any friends. Oh wait, that's me, not Andy!
Went out shooting yesterday with a friend...
Yesterday she shot a .22 rifle for the first time ( My Remington model 33 ) ...
Her response was : "I need to get one of these...! "
And now she is looking into getting a .22 rifle...
...you never know what interest you may spark....

On a more positive note, I agree that when they want "in," as a friend of mine (female) now does, I suggest they buy something reliable yet can be turned over 1:1 later if doesn't work out. I assume BP products are inexpensive, right? Most .22 rifles can be resold, and have low cost of entry and operation too?
Went out shooting yesterday with a friend...
Being me of course , I first introduced her to muzzleloading firearms , which she took to , like a duck to water.
After some looking around and much research , she bought herself a BP rifle and assorted gear to make it go boom...
We have shot those a bit before and made another "shooting date" for yesterday...
So...

No real reason for this post , other than , be sure to take a friend out shooting...you never know what interest you may spark....

LOL, well Andy, you have been here long enough you should have seen how this would go? Mention a female, who finds she likes shooting, and wants to buy some guns? You're waving raw meat in front of a bunch of catsOh My...
This thread escalated quickly....
Well perhaps devolved in a better term here...
Too funny

Was gonna use my clown mating dance.
Way to go, Andy. We should all proselytize our acquaintances.
I am entirely positive I don't ever want to see it.
The Remington 33 is a sweet , smooth and sure shooting rifle...
Now if only gun companies today , made a well finished adult sized single shot bot action rifle ....while it wouldn't out sell the Ruger 10/22 series of rifles....it may help introduce the simple joys of a well made single shot rifle.

What turns you on? Men, food, men with dogs, men with a sense of humor, men who bring me food, men who aren't afraid to buy tampons, men who own more guns than me.
Andy,
LOOK at some of the CZ rifles. Single shot and 5 round magazines. You can switch them around. CZ magazines - we use the CZ brand name.
Rifles - CZ-USA
We own 3 very sweet CZ 22lr bolt action rifles. Adult sized rifles. We do not have scopes on them and we have no plans for scopes on these rifles.
CZ Scout Rifle
CZ Training Rifle
This is my rifle:
CZ 455 Lux
CZ 455 Lux - Discontinued 2018 - CZ-USA
They still make the CZ Lux in 22lr.
CZ did change some of the CZ barrels around on some of their rifles.
I may get another CZ BOLT action 22lr or 22wmr rifle for my birthday.
Side note:
I never owned a Ruger 10/22. They never 'tripped my trigger' but I do know that they are very popular and loved by many people. All of us have different tastes in guns!
As a lady shooter, I want to thank you for introducing another lady into firearms. Black powder and any other type of shooting!
We gifted the sweet CZ Lux BOLT action .223 rifle to a close friend back east. (Veteran, on ground zero on the day of the attacks and he is like a nephew to me.) If the lady likes the .223 caliber, down the road, that rifle was and IS a tack driver. NO scopes - iron sights.
Give your lady friend my best wishes.
Sincerely,
Old Lady Cate
Thank you Cate for suggestions and kind words...
We will look at those CZ's for sure....at one time I owned a CZ 452 LUX....but sold it to a friend of mine...a sweet shooting rifle.
Iron sights is how I like to teach shooting and how I still prefer to shoot a rifle...
My friend is shooting well and getting better each time we go out .
She said she likes my older style of rifles , so we will start our hunt for a .22 there....but to be sure we will look at and handle all types of .22 rifles , just to see what she really likes...
Just going slow here with a brand new shooter...and I am enjoying helping her , find her interest in firearms.

My first shooting experience was with a full-sized 1911 .45 ACP... and i fell in love with it... I guess the difference was that I didn't weigh 110 lb... LOLNote to self: don't hand the 110 lb lady a full size 1911 45 ACP, all-steel, with +P rounds for her first shooting experience...
