I used to shoot .22 rifles at school which I really enjoyed.

I'd really like to get back into the hobby now although I think I'd like to move on from the .22.

Can anyone recommend a nice rifle that would be most suitable for both myself and my 11 year old daughter to start off with at the range and perhaps go hunting with later on.

I am a complete novice so forgive my ignorance.

Yaron.

An AR-15 is a good rifle, low recoil, legal hunting caliber, and ammo is reasonably inexpensive. Unfortunatly the AR-15 is kind of pricey.

There really isn't anything that would fit you AND your 11 year-old.

The best thing would be a couple of target .22s, one to fit each of you. If you are lucky enough to live near an outdoor range with a NRA smallbore competition program you will be more than welcome to participate. Most clubs have several loaner rifles of various types that nobody ever uses. If you do participate, you may find that your first purchase is not a rifle but a shooting coat, mitt, mat and possibly a spotting scope if no loaners are available.

The best shooters on this planet have all shot and excelled at smallbore at some point in their careers.

If you tell us where you live I may be able to direct you to the nearest club.
