Why Parents & Coaches Choose the My First Rifle Gen2
Confidence-building single shot: One round at a time encourages careful loading, deliberate trigger press, and proper follow-through.
Versatile .22 S/L/LR chamber: Train with low-recoil .22 Short or .22 Long, then progress to common .22 LR loads as skills grow.
EZ Loader convenience: Gen2’s EZ Loader aids smoother loading for small hands while maintaining the controlled, single-shot design that simplifies coaching.
Youth-friendly fit: Stock geometry, length of pull, and overall weight are tailored for smaller shooters to promote natural stance and sight alignment.
Rugged & weather-ready: Blued steel barrel/receiver and M81 Woodland Camo synthetic stock shrug off range dust, backyard plinking, and camp use.
Timeless training value: Crisp single-shot operation and basic controls help new shooters focus on sight picture, breathing, and safe gun handling.
