As an adult though, I would either just get a Ruger 10/22 or a regular AR-15 with a .22 conversion kit. Since the .22 is pretty close to the same diameter as a .223 they make drop in conversion kits where you can use the same barrel.

They also make .22 dedicated uppers for AR-15s. Just take the 5.56 upper off and throw on the .22 upper. Cheaper to shoot. Maybe a little more accurate too.
