The Chipmunk youth rifle in .22 LR with a blued steel barrel and American walnut fixed wood stock (brand part no. 00001) is a manual cocking, single-shot bolt-action rifle built specifically for young shooters. Chipmunk adds a manual cocking knob that slows down the shooting process for new users, and unloading operates the same way as letting down the external hammer on a revolver, a familiar and safe motion to teach. An EZ load feed ramp and adjustable peep sights with v-groove options round out a platform built with length-of-pull spacer kits so the fit can adjust as the shooter grows. Among walnut-stocked bolt action rifles, this Chipmunk configuration favors families who want a traditional-look first rifle that grows with the shooter.
