They both started out with a BB gun at about 2 and 22's right after. Didn't buy them their first gun until 12 yrs old but like you state justr I plan on purchasing each one of my grand kids a goldenboy at birth. My dad never bought me a gun and I didn't have enough cash when my boys were younger either so they had to wait until they were about 12.

No kids here? DINK?
I did buy Stainless M77 .22?s with scopes for my best friends 2 boys as soon As I knew they were pregnant.
His wife?s best friend bought that first one
An over sized Teddy Bear. They had a talk that my gift was ?not appropriate? For an infant.
My buddy said ?You might be right? But I guarantee you when this kid is 5 he will use That rifle to shoot holes in that Teddy Bear?. ? And that's what happened.
Guess I am not a very ?progressive? American I have now armed 5 young men with their first
Long guns?.

My girls are getting 22's this summer from their grandad, they are turning 5 and 7. The seven year old has probably been ready for a while but we couldn't get her one and not get both of them one without a big fuss! So I asked my dad to wait until they were both ready. Its going to be fun!
