I need recommendations, what's a good rifle for an infant?

One that you can use and enjoy till the child is old enough to. You both win!

Congratulations!

Pick out a good .22 rifle that you would have enjoyed as a child and let him/her grow into it.

I liked the lever action .22 rifles when I was a kid because I grew up watching westerns but westerns aren't nearly as popular now days so.....
Now days I'm partial to pump .22 rifles. I don't know why. I just like them.

a stripped lower that you both can build into a complete rifle as they grow older. I went with that for one son and a bolt-gun build for the other and both truly respect what they have.

growing up my family was very anti-2a but when i have kids i'm planning on getting them henry goldenboy 22s.

Crickett or 10/22 youth model?

Start off with a Red Ryder BB gun and a DVD with "A Christmas Story" on it.

I like this idea, start em out with a drop in 22lr converter and when they get a little older switch back to 223

What ever you decide just make sure it fits the little guy. If you have to modify the stock then modify it but save the piece you cut off so it can be attached as they grow. I always try to think how it would be to try to learn to shoot with a gun that had a stock 4 or 5 inches too long. Probably not good.
