well i do think you are on the right track with the .22's for the youngster how-ever i would think a bolt action would be very boring and could tend to make the child lose interest in the sport. I cant help to remember when i was that age i really wanted to learn the guitar and my parents got me lessons and the guy only taught country music and i lost interest very fast and didn't pick up an other guitar till i was 30. i would buy him a reasonably priced winchester semi auto like the 290 you can pick them up very cheap and once you have him interested in the sport you can drool over things like the dressed up 10/22 as they are very fine weapons.
