Looking to buy a .22 rifle for my sons this Christmas. Ages 7 and 9. Would like something with iron sights and under $200.

Any suggestions?

Every man should have a 10-22, 870, 1911, and AR15 in his collection.

Another vote for Ruger 10/22

Bought my boys (twins) each one when they turned 10. Told them they would learn to shoot with iron sights before we even discussed scopes or red dots.

I bought TD, Jr. a Savage Rascal last year when he turned 5.

If they have not shot a lot I would think you might start them on a bigger single shot rifle and them move up to a semi auto.

I got my boy a Henry & he loves it. Accurate little plinking rifle and it feels really solid. We already had a 10/22, but I wanted him to learn on something other than a semi-auto.

Cricket.

Then 10/22 when they master the sights.

Ruger has a special on the 10/22 Takedown model right now.

Saw them at my LGS yesterday. Different prices for the different stock and finish options but I think the base black stock with satin stainless finish was $209. And it comes with a 325rd box of federal ammo and a 3D rubber squirrel target.

Eventually, you will buy a Ruger 10/22. Might as well get it out of the way now.

I've decided I'm buying my soon to be 3 year old a 10-22 for Christmas. His mother will think it is another toy for me, but I'm going to make sure he's got his own arsenal stored in a safe place for when he needs it. The 10-22 will complement his M&P 22 quite nicely.
