Dubi is banned again, so I'm posting up Saturday's match. Covid and politics make her mad and she does not choose her words wisely.

Hey Dubi,

Can you point me in the right direction of some of the recent competition 22 threads? I know the guns have been discussed, and I tried using search but I just found this thread.

I've got 3 small kids and I am considering the purchase of a decent "starter" target 22 so I can get them started when the time is right. My oldest is 5, so I think I have some time. I'm just looking for a some good resources and it seems like you and Mr. Dubi are a good place to start. I'm in the San Antonio area. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

What kind of shooting are you interested in: precision or steel challenge? Probably a 10/22 is the best starting point for smaller shooters. With the aftermarket support, you can build a lightweight and compact rifle that will work well for little people.



This one weighs about 4 lbs, and there is a rearward bias to the weight. It cost me about $900 as it sits, plus magazines. I could shave off another half pound with a different stock.


If you are interested in precision, that is another animal altogether, and the cost factor goes up tenfold.



This is Dubi's precision 10/22. It costs more, weighs over 12 lbs as it sits, and relatively nose heavy. Precision rimfire ammo is also $0.25-$0.50 per round to boot.

If you are not interested in building, or commissioning a build, there are factory rifles.

10/22's or the AR options: S&W M&P 15-22, or the new kid on the block Tippman M4-22.

The Smith is all plastic and weighs about 4.5 lbs plus optics, 6.5# trigger pull. The Tippman is aluminum, and I believe actually real AR receivers, but weighs over 5 lbs plus optics, has a 4.5# trigger pull.

A factory 10/22 is going to outweigh mine, factory triggers on a 10/22 can be up to 9#.

The grip to trigger reach on the AR's can be long for small hands, but kids really dig shooting them. Also the high sight over bore can be difficult to wrap your mind around

Good info. Thanks.

Honestly I will probably start out as basic and budget as I can to see if it's something that the family will get into. Are there any "off the shelf" options that would be good to start with, and then maybe I can go with the real deal if they really start to love it?

I'd buy the cheapest M&P 15/22 package that includes extra magazine.
