Looks like a good but for my kids but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it? I am also wondering it it could fire 22 shorts as a single shot? I don't see why not but....

Looks pretty cool for a first time/kids rifle, but this is the first I've heard of it.
Depends on the age/size of the kids probably. I heard good things about the Cricket for the younger/smaller ones. There is Savage's Rascal and CZ used to have a youth model as well (CZ 455 I think).

I was originally looking at the Rascal but I really like the wood stock and the ability to "grow' by adding a 10rd magazine to this one.

Saw these on Henry's website. No personal experience with them, but my dad has a Golden Boy that he likes shooting a lot.

Found this review over on Rimfire Central. Unfortunately it is from 2012, so hopefully they have gotten better since then!

I will probably start with the Cricket or just BB/Pellet then move up to one of these.

Can't go wrong with a CZ!

Go CZ Scout and down the road you can swap the stock out for an adult sized one and have sweet little rimfire suppressor host.
