GERMAN PRECISION 22 SINGLE SHOT

GECADO PLINKER

German Precision Robust Iron sights are great for learning

Outdoor Life 2012 The idea was simple: Give a handful of young shooters & hunters a bunch of youth-model guns, lots of ammo, then ask them to shoot all day& evaluate the firearms on the criteria that mean the most to them. What we found in listening to the kids over the course of our test surprised us. Accuracy wasn't the most important consideration when they judged the rifles. Gentle recoil, while still plenty important, wasn't the biggest factor in how the testers graded the youth shotguns & rifles. Instead, what this next generation of firearms owners told us is that they want a gun that is built to fit their dimensions, is easy and safe to shoot, & has plenty of cool factor.

A classic gun that can be easily made to fulfill those factors at a fraction of the cost of a new youth gun.

You know your child best. Do it as a joint project with your child...Grandads Included. Cut down to the right size if required, no butt plate to refit. Just use a handsaw & rasp. Wood Easily sanded & painted to any fashion color with a spray can, boy-girls choice Safe single shot slows things down so everything is deliberate and... I can shorten the barrel for you.

If I had to pick just 1 gun to have & use for the rest of my life I'd pick a 22. I have shot all sorts of things with this little cartridge including rabbits, hares, possums, goats, pigs & even a deer. (A bigger caliber should always be chosen for larger animals if possible). The ammo is the most readily available type anywhere & its cheap. You can have 100s of rounds, to be stored safely for future needs. I like that it is a relatively 'quiet' cartridge, especially when a supressor is fitted. I've had good experiences with lots of different .22 rifles. One of my favorites is a Gecado 'Plinker'....this little gun has a 'feel' to it that suggests I'm going to hit whatever I point at.
