I agree. Tube feeds aren’t for beginners. I was raised in the backwoods in a small town in TN. I started off with my grandfather taking me with an old Remington target master. I think that’s what it was. A single shot bolt action. He would hand me 1 bullet at a time. Started learning gun safety at 4 years old. If you treat every gun as a loaded gun and never point it at someone you’re off to a good start. Know where the safety is and how to load and unload.

"Tube feeds aren’t for beginners."
I grew up with a Reminton bolt-action .22 with a tubular magazine. The most fun-gun I ever had. As a preteen during WWII, I used it to hunt squirrels and rabbits for the dinner table. My father gave me a single-shot Iver Johnson 410, another fun-gun but not so much as the .22.
