When someone with a passion for shooting sports becomes a parent, it’s only natural for them to want to share that passion with their children. Most dads secretly (and some not so secretly) hope for a son to share their wisdom with. However, in today’s time a mother, father, or both can share their passion for shooting with their daughters and can do it in style. These are a few of the .22LR caliber rifles available in pink for both young and old female shooters.
Crickett (My First Rifle):
Crickett is well know for its .22 LR (long rifle) caliber rifles built for the tiniest of shooters. Their “My First Rifle” line is perfect for very young/tiny shooters. These rifles are 30.5 inches long and weigh approximately 2.5 pounds. There are three pink stock finishes available for this gun; the “pink synthetic,” the “pink (wood grain) laminate,” and the “Mossy oak pink blaze camouflage.” The frame is available in both blued and stainless steel finishes. The manufacturer doesn’t list a suggested retail price for this rifle, but you can expect to pay somewhere around $140.
What most people do not know about Crickett rifles is that they make adult rifles too. That’s right moms, you and your daughter can have matching rifles. At 32.5 inches long, the adult version of this rifle is just slightly longer than the youth model. It is also a little heavier at 3.5 pounds. Unfortunately, it seems that the adult rifle is only available with the “pink (wood grain) laminate” stock. However, it is also available with a blued or stainless steel frame finish. Moms you can expect to pay a little more for the adult version as well, at around $199.
Remington 597 (Pink Camo):
The “Remington 597″ in pink Mossy oak camouflage is a great .22 LR for slightly bigger youth shooters, all the way to adults. At 40 inches of overall length and 5.5 pounds this gun would be perfect for older children or their mothers. This rifle offers a 10 round ammunition magazine and a last-shot, stay-open bolt for added safety. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for this rifle is $260.
Mossberg 802 Bantam Plinkster:
The “Bantam Plinkster” is a bolt-action .22 LR caliber rifle. This gun has a pink marbled synthetic stock and a blued frame finish. It weighs in at 4.1 pounds and is 37 inches long. This rifle offers a 10 round ammunition magazine and adjustable rifle sights. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for this rifle is $199.
When buying the perfect rifle for yourself or a young female shooter, it’s important that you buy a quality rifle that suits your/their style. These three pink .22LR caliber rifles should not only perform great, but should look great while doing it.
