If you keep the 10/22 (which has a place) only load one in the mag & have another mag ready, either full for you or with one in it again for the child, I think 4 is a little young to be shooting a real rifle, but not to be coming with you & carrying the rabbits as I did as a child, I had to drag them as could not hold them high enough, got the bash for dragging lol !
When I was 8-10 I got to use the .22 on my own when visiting a farm & it was a tube mag Sportco semi, danger danger there, but it was a great rifle, all open sights in those days
A lot to be said on open sights & field of view for a beginner to, eg safer when stock or such may wonder into firing zone, latter scopes are better to identify animals from humans in the bush & on dark !
