For .22 either a 10/2s for auto or a Ruger American Rimfire for bolt... Both reasonable in price..

How about something special; Marlin Model 39, I added a period correct tang sight, lop works for them and makes a great keepsake...just no high velocity ammo

These are beautiful guns. I would have a small rear stock made and not destroy the original. If it's a little ugly for a few years I'm good so I can put it back to original when their a little bigger. Then you can gift them a real treasure when they are older.

Have you considered putting her in a Smallbore Junior Club? Most of them have equipment and good guidance to get kids going in the sport and, at least for now, it is an NCAA sport so there is a future in the sport for kids. If I recall, you seem to have some connection to WVU. If you are near Morgantown, there is an excellent one there.

I am a longtime friend of Jon Hammond, the WVU coach. Texas is a little fer from West BY Gawd Virginny. We do know several Service Rifle shooters and the Texas State Junior folks.
We will just see what her interest happens to be.

Bamban on this forum smiths their uppers and we have been buddies for a few years. Bunch of good folks working with them. I think we have a pretty good group of Service Rifle folks at our club, Terrell Pistol, and Rifle Club.
Her Dad and I both have legal Service Rifles if she decided to do it. They are 30 miles from me and that is kinda an inconvenience.
Thanks for the offer.
