Title: Follow Up on Gun for Daughter....
Post by: Hornseeker on September 16, 2010, 12:38:32 PM: Just to let you all know, appreciate all your input.

I had a Rem 700 in 22-250... I ended up talking to a smith, I wanted to get it rebarreled for her with a 7-08 or a 243....he happened to have a never fired 243 and mounted it on there for $100... Wooohooo. Set.

I am still going to try and pick up a 7-08 in the next few years as I have another following along... she could then use the 243 and this one can grad to the 7-08!

I'll get pics up of her shooting it in a while!

Thanks again for all the discussion!

My son was 7 when I bought him his. His cousin was 5 at the time. They would have burned up 100 rounds if I'd have had it the first time they shot it.

This weekend, if the weather breaks for us, I'll take her and her sister....and maybe even mom, to the range and do a little shooting....
