*** UPDATE POST # 48 ***
I have my first child due this June and want to have a rifle put back for him to have when he gets old enough to shoot and enjoy it as his own. I'm not 100% on what will be best in 8 years or whatever.
Standard 6920 or 6720
6920 OEM 1 or 2
For those that have young boys - do they care at all about the details of a gun or if it looks like daddy's gun or any of that?
I remember when I got my first rifle as a boy it was a Marlin 336, which my dad had bought some time prior. At the time, late 90s, bolt guns with huge muzzle brakes and big scopes were in and I recall thinking that old lever action wasn't that cool. Kid logic.
For what it's worth we are a no cable TV household and will not be doing the vidya games nonsense either. I'm sure all that Call of Duty garbage twists boys expectations of real world guns all up. I'll be teaching him on a single shot 22 rifle, then a 10/22, etc. I just figured I may as well buy the AR now while they're so dang cheap.
