We have no doubt a Henry Mini Bolt Youth .22 is the perfect rifle for introducing youngsters to shooting and hunting. Of course, we’re just a little biased. So go ahead and talk to the knowledgeable folks on the USA Olympic Shooting Team. To maximize safety we outfitted the Mini Bolt with a manually operated safety switch that, when set, prevents the gun from firing even when cocked. The beavertail forearm includes wraparound checkering that makes it easy for young hands to grip. And we fitted the stainless steel barrel with high-visibility Williams Fire Sights using two bright green fiber-optic dots on the adjustable rear sight and one red dot for the front bead so young eyes can get on target easily even in low-light conditions.
