I foresee a Browning BL-22 in your future. There is something a new shooter likes about feeling something they do makes the gun go bang, other than just pulling the trigger. Same with a bolt action.
My grandson did the First Shots class when he was 10 or 11, got to shoot a single shot 22. Next range trip I showed him my tricked out 10/22 and he shot it some and didn't care for it cuz "All I do is pull the trigger" Next gun show I took him with me and showed him a BL-22 and how it worked. I bought it, he liked it, and now he's a better shot than me. We worked thru the handguns, a Browning Buckmark and then to my S&W revolvers, 38spl and up.
