That one is an upgraded version. Nice too - bull barrel, BX trigger, scope rail. I do however, think a beginner should get proficient with iron sights before adding a scope. Like learning to drive a stick before going automatic.

I’m a firm believer in iron sights, they’ll get you home when the optical sighting device fails. But I understand the logic that some weppins are scope-only.

Wait for a sale, $250 is steep for this version. Nice used one at a pawn shop would be cheaper, but if he's not familiar with firearms, might want new for extra cash.

I agree. They’ve been an affordable basic rifle (in basic form haha) for forever. Why pay more?
Don’t forget the banana magazines, for gorilla warfare.

The 25 round mags are a must and I only recommend the Ruger branded ones. Heard some bad things about the P-mag and aftermarket ones. Extended mag release and auto bolt release make it way more enjoyable. Kidd Designs make top notch aftermarket upgrades. Extra firing pins to keep on hand. Only real weakness of some of the 10/22's, they break easily and don't like to be dry fired.
