The 10/22 hands down considering their ages. Although the 10/22 may not be tacticool the bottom line is to teach firearm safety and lean to shoot. If not that a bolt action 22 would be next although I do wonder if they may get bored with having to re-load after a shot. I would get the 10/22 basic model with wood stock and cut the stock down as needed then buy another stock or two on Ebay, I have 3 spares to practice refinishing on and paid $20 each. Please let us know what you end up doing and how it works out. You could also think about taking them to Appleseed, would be a fun weekend for the entire family
