How old are your grandkids? They will learn a lot better marksmanship with a gun that will fit them rather than an expensive rifle that doesn’t.

The ergo’s and dimensions of the 2020 are similar to about every .22 bolt rifle out there. To ma to .. ta ma to.
.. and a sa 2020 is not expensive

Started my kids out on a cricket single shot 22 less than $100 now I have know idea how much they are. But the stock can be shortened easily and a replacement stock is or was cheap. They have decent accuracy. A 5 year old isn’t going to be that accurate anyway. But it does get them into shooting without a bunch of bad habits of a length of pull being way to long and they have to put the stock under their arm pit and then can’t get a good sight picture. Then as they get older get them a good 22 rifle.

In your opinion. Good for you. Not what he wants
One can grow into a rifle as they get older. Maybe someone doesnt want “decent accuracy”.
He stated his need. His need is not yours

And I am at an age where I am thinking of what I will leave to my heirs. All my firearms are quality pieces that my heirs would be proud to own. It's partly why I said I want quality, not cheap. Firearms that I train my grandkids with should be accurate and capable of precision. The Springfield 2020 is on my list for consideration. I appreciate the input here, especially from those of you who have experience with the 2020.

I am hesitant to recommend it but, my Ruger American standard weight barrel, synthetic stock has been pretty darn good.
You can use the compact stock piece at first then switch it to a longer one after they grow into it.
Its also not Turkish.
Why do I hesitate?
Ruger is down as a brand to 50/50 gems to dirt for me.
I am convinced that Ruger employs folks that can't make a burger or pass a drug test and we are their quality control.

That's to bad you have that experience. I have six rugers in the safe and they all work great. American standard in 22wm, 6.5 cm m77, .300prc RPR, super redhawk in .44 and .454, standard 10/22. all are knockout except the open sight 10/22 becuase it gets the cheap stuff. the rest are excellent. i used the american to play rifle tic tac toe with my nephew until i got the cz

I would have to look.
Ruger is 2 1\2 pages of the book I write down serial numbers.
I own over 40 just 9mm handguns all brands.
Can shoot a different gun a day for over a year and no repeats.
Just purchased the wood stocked 250th 10\22
I own 5 other 10\22s.
Also own that Cz .22 training rifle and yea its swell.
Shoot come to think about it, Ruger makes a compact american bolt with threaded barrel.
That would be perfect for the op.
@HayesGreener so what did you decide?

Have not decided yet. There is a gun shop about 30 miles from me that has a good selection of high end rifles, we're going to make a trip over there next week to get hands on

I trained my young'uns up on an old Marlin 989 M2. I still have it sitting in the vault. I guess a modern day equivilant would be something like the Mossberg 702 Plinkster.
