I would suggest bolt action to start. I’ve seen too many kids with semi-autos just firing as fast as they can and they never really learn how to shoot. They are more concerned about emptying the mag as quick as possible than they are about hitting the target accurately.

I would suggest a Henry, it has no pic rail, no threaded barrel. But it’s a quality rifle that they can learn the basics with. I’ve seen plenty of the Cricket and Henry and I prefer the Henry rifle.
