I just bought my kid a Marlin XT .22 Youth for Christmas. He's only 4 (but understands the objective of iron sights and a scope and does very well with both for his age), and a smaller framed kid so I went with the shortest length of pull I could find. Also, I will be right beside him on every shot, so the bolt action saves me a little time instead of the single shot route. I am impressed with the craftsmanship of the rifle so far and can't wait for him to send a few bullets down range.
