My daughter has been using the Modle 60. I didn’t want to waste the cash on somthing she might only use once so since it was laying around I have been teaching her on it. Since getting her used to it she has come to call it “her rifle”.
There have been no safety issues while reloading.
I’m gonna cut a couple of inches off the stock to reduce the LOP and eventually scope it for her if she keeps at it. She really like the little spinner target I got for her too.
Once while shooting at targets she was so proud of her tight little group she ran all the way to the house to get her camera.
She will be 8 next month.
I can just imagine a scenario where you could be pointing the barrel at yourself while loading it.
