Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

i know its a bit early, but lets consider Christmas presents here

im thinking of buying my boy a gun, something of the "hiking carabine" type

i know he would love the Henry ar-9

the cool thing about this gun is that the barrel, magazines and trigger group all fit into the stock, in a water tight compartment
the downside is it is a .22
cheap and fun to shoot but low on take down power

along those lines, im sure i could get a ruger 10/22 in a take down stock and he would be set for life trying to customize that


my second contender is the kel-tec sub-2000 (in a 9MM)

slightly more powerful, but perhaps not as easily packable?
could also be had in a .40 S&W
of course, the larger the caliber, the more pennies per shot


im open to suggestions (and offers if you got one for sale)
