I got my 5 yr old a savage rascal for christmas (her choice). I wanted to get her started on a single shot bolt action which will cover the fundamental of marksmanship, and I think is safer for beginners, as to a semi auto which she could just pull trigger and blast away, And it came in pink...
I'm thinking I reeeaaaally wanna get another one, but this time to put on a custom wood furniture with a fix stock to replace the folder and beaver barf stuff.
