Re gun for teaching kids, I can recommend the armscor youth 22 for the $. Length of pull is oriented for youth size. All metal and wood (except trigger guard and mag release). Threaded 18" barrel. Mine cost about $120 total incl transfer at lucky sporting goods.I'll say why I want one. Number one I have a kinda new 10/22 and its nickname is mr. jam-O-matic. Yes I know is is ether type of ammo or just needs 10k rounds to be properly broke in etc yata yata yata. I just don't enjoy shooting it.
I have had a few other semi auto .22 guns and one thing for sure, if they don't jam a ton they burn through ammo.
Oh.. here is another reason, loading 25 round BX mags sucks.
Bolt action solves most of that, I just don't mind shooting a bit slower specially if I don't have to clear a jam every 3 rounds and I get accuracy. Yes the 10/22 could potentially be more accurate and I do have a green mountain large diameter barrel for it. I kinds hesitate to put it on because it has the tighter match style chamber. Probably jam even more then the stock barrel. I am going to try putting on the barrel and do what I can to figure out mr. jam-O-matic's issues before I sell him.
Going to be teaching grand kids to shoot in a few yrs so any semi auto is out when it comes to family shooting sessions.
So those are MY reasons, though I am sure that question was for the OP.
I have actually shifted from CZ to the Ruger American target in stainless. Not that I think there is really a problem with the CZ. I am just looking harder at the Ruger and liking what I see. Ruger American® Rimfire TargetAnother vote for CZ. Can't go wrong with them.
Someone mentioned a 10/22 being a jamomatic.
My S&W 15-22 has never failed with hundreds of rounds downrange.
Were I to buy a bolt action,I'd go for the Savage, the accu-trigger is a joy.
My Savage .17 HMR has a wonderful accu-trigger and is a nail driver.
Cant stand poor triggers.
