Yup, the mini bolts are nice. I mainly went with the Savage due to the peep site. It's also grooved for scope mounting (the literature dosen't mention) My daughter wasn't picking up the conventional site theory well, but fully understands the peep. She will probably end up a scope shooter. Better than no shooter at all. No, I'm not scope bashing. A couple of my best shooting guns have scopes :right:

peep sights rule !

:assult:

Nice job Jerry Its good to see our kids excited about shooting, especially the girls.

Good stuff Jerry! Glad to see that you didn't make the same misjudgement (sic) that I did.

I know it was for a girl - but I STILL can't believe I bought a pink rifle, what was I thinking?

WHAT A SWELL DADDY

hope to see a range report of your daughters new rifle; that is if daddy lets it go long enough

 

[jerry]

Oh yeah!
I'll have to demonstrate propper technique of course

Hert b-day is not 'till May, I'll have to hold off on the range repot till then. Wife actually gave me the blessing to give it up early, but I wanted to wait for her birthday.

As long as she's happy with the pink rifle Max, that's all that matters

I'm thinking of building a kiddie-sized butt stock for my Marlin 39a for my grandkids to shoot. My grandkids are 3, 4, and almost 5 and all three are really psyched about getting to shoot. If I don't do the Marlin, I'm thinking of one of the youth model Henry's.

 

[jerry]

The Henry's are nice guns.

Gave it to her on her b-day last week. I hope to sneak to the range tommorrow to let her shoot it. If not then sometime after work this week.
