I’ll have to read more about this rifle. I was looking for a first rifle for my 7 year old daughter. I’ve been considering the CZ 452.
We started our 6 year old on a Savage single shot bolt action. It is cheap, solid and teaches all the right skills prior to move up to something with more rounds.
For a first rifle consider a Henry lever 22
safe can look at rifle and see if hammer back and ready to fire
Unlike automatics they have to work the lever between shots I feel that is safer
Can fire 22 shorts, longs and long rifle shells if ammo is hard to get can fire anything 22
for a young shooter the 22 short is enough to shoot targets and small game
