223 or 243. Remington 700 youth or a new england firearms. Good Luck. i am not a youth hunter and have no experience in the matter but I think those two calibers and rifles are well suited for the task.

.22 lr
the kid can learn safety and shooting w/o the center fire blast.

OOPSSS! I thought this was for hunting!!!!!! well first rifle just to learn on then a .22lr marlin model 60, or similar savage. It is not so basic that he will get bored in 10 minutes. They are great first rifles. I bet 1/4 of the people of this board own one or have shot one on numerous occasions!
Holds about 15 rounds semi auto and cost around 150.00

Gunbuyer fogot to mention the Ruger 10/22, so i mentioned it for him.

You been offshore lately, GB? Wink

Ruger 10/22 also an excellent choice. Probably the best choice actually. They can be hopped up and modified for a lifetime of entertainment.

I have not be offshore at all. Been stuck at school. I missed a good chance last week with good weather but I was at a 1000 yard shooting competition. I fish summers and shoot winters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

22 bolt action single shot. It's a safe way to start. Start off with shorts then let him graduate to longs. After he has the rules down. Wink

22lr is a great gun i agree a ruger 10 22 is awesome to shoot but i wouldn't recommend a semi auto for learners... get a bolt action its a little safer..maybe look at 22 mag. its got enough power to take down deer(not legal) and pigs without any real kick its pretty loud through. i bought a marlin 22 mag for a little over $200

Get her a Remington 700 in .243. Great first gun and caliber that will last her a lifetime.
