The good old Lithgow Slazenger single shot was how I learned. I have the rifle at home, where I am not at the moment so no photos. And thanks to Dad's careful storage in a dampo shed, again needs lots of rust cleaning off it.

Single shot bolt action. Manual cokcing bolt. And decocking it as well. Open sights.

Learn to use open sights before a scope. Else the kid never will learn them.

Learn to shoot carefully with a single round. Not spray and pray as one friend did in boyhood with his semi auto .22.

Learn to stalk real close with those open sights.

Learn to value simple stuff. Never give a kid something super fancy. They should earn that themselves.

The best rifle for a kid is something cheap, basic, simple. They can learn on. And safe as well of course.

Today we also use these Lithgow single shots as the "camp rifle" competition in the BGRC competitions. Fun to use them there as well.
