Like you, I love to shoot. There are so many fun ways to enjoy our sport. But the one that provides the greatest amount of satisfaction for me is introducing shooting to others. We need to bring new people into shooting, of course, to insure the future of firearms based sports. The fact that introducing it to others is so enjoyable is simply a pleasant plus. And a great way to get young shooters into the sport is with the Savage Rascal<\/a> .22 LR single-shot, bolt-action rifle.<\/p>\n

\"With<\/a>

With excellent sights, an easy to operate (and effective) safety and a great price point, you can’t miss with the Savage Rascal. Shown with hardwood stock.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you want to pick up one of these already affordable rifles for an even better price, Savage Arms has you covered. In addition to dealer discounts, Savage has a great $25 rebate program currently going on for the company\u2019s bolt-action rimfire rifles (including the Rascal and the B.Mag). \u00a0This rebate program<\/a> is running from December 3rd<\/sup> through December 31st<\/sup> of this year, and the coupon most be postmarked by January 31st<\/sup>, 2017. This $25 rebate will make an already affordable rifle even better!<\/p>\n

As I noted above, the Savage Rascal is one of the best rifles I\u2019ve found for introducing shooting to kids. The diminutive size lets them hold it comfortably, which builds confidence that this is something they can handle. It also makes it easier for them to shoulder it and to get a good sight picture. There are several other features that make this a great gun for newbies.<\/p>\n

When working with newcomers, and especially kids, it\u2019s important to provide positive feedback. The best feedback they can get is hitting the target. Reactive targets are great for this and also fun, no matter your age, although it\u2019s a good idea to start on paper so you can correct any problems before going to tougher targets. You don\u2019t have to make it complicated, though. As you can see, I just used a cardboard box and a tin can.<\/p>\n

Besides being sized to fit kids, the Rascal has two other features that help with accuracy. I was happily surprised to find the Rascal equipped with Savage\u2019s AccuTrigger, one of the best production rifle triggers available. It\u2019s light and crisp and a breeze to teach kids how to use. With a trigger breaking at 2 pounds 11 ounces, it\u2019s easy for them to make good shots. I treat it like a two-stage trigger and have them bring the blade to the trigger, pause, and then press a little harder when they have the sights lined up.<\/p>\n

Speaking of sights, the Rascal has a peep rear sight and a blade front with a bead at the top. The bead is actually cylindrical in shape but from the rear appears as a small circle. I\u2019ve found this setup to be far superior to open rear sight for kids, or for anyone else for that matter. Centering the bead in the aperture is natural and helps get on target more easily.<\/p>\n

The rear site is fully adjustable in windage and elevation, however, the method for adjustment is a little bit crude and it\u2019s difficult to make precise adjustments. For the price of the gun, though, it\u2019s acceptable. If you\u2019re careful to hold the sight between two fingers, you can feel how much you\u2019re moving it when you loosen the rear screw on the side for elevation, or unscrew the aperture to make windage adjustments.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Savage Rascal has a superior safety system compared to its competitors. On the Rascal, the safety is designed to allow the shooter to keep the rifle on safety as the action is cycled. The safety is located on the right side of the receiver, directly above the triggerguard area. Drawing it to the rear places the rifle on safe, while pushing it forward disengages it.<\/p>\n

\"One<\/a>

One of the most important features of the Rascal is its safety, which allows the rifle to be cycled while engaged and reveals a red dot when ready to fire.<\/p><\/div>\n
