In two weeks will have practice in Issaquah.
Hope will pass it too and ill be ready for small game after some practice)

Yep. Yep.
After long time without serious shooting just bought a rifle )
Im so exited cause in other countries where i lived is not easy at all to get firearm.

My wife doesnt know that i spend 500$ for rifle. She is against weapons)
She will freak out after came back from vacation. )

Definitely will build cheek rest on this stock. May be carbon fiber one (have some materials leftovers).

A .22 is what many of us started out with to learn firearm basics (safety, shooting steady hold factors, etc.). It's a great little round (and inexpensive to shoot) that will give you many enjoyable outings. Now go out and get some grouse this fall!

A lot of people get a stock pack like this (https://www.triadtactical.com/Triad-Stock-Pack.html), then used something like carboard or hard foam taped to the stock underneath the pack to get a higher cheek weld.

Good luck.
