Been a while since I've read one that started this way. 

 

So so there I was, stumbling through the door of one of our local gun pushers. I was there to find a red dot for my son's rifle.  Tomorrow will be his first time behind a rifle - a Savage Rascal single shot .22lr. He's about 5 1/2...but he's smart and extremely cautious. It'll be just him, my dad, and me. Rather than try to teach him about open sights on the first outing...I figure a red dot will do the trick. Put the red dot on the item you'd like to destroy.  We've been covering the three basic rules for a few days now and he's understanding it's not a game, so this should be fun. I picked out a cheap reflex sight first...but nothing we did would make it turn on and they couldn't find another one in the store. We wound up with a TruGlo 20mm red dot. Came with a high and a low base. Even the low base for him will be a little high...but from a bench he will get the idea. You can still use the irons with the rail I have mounted, so that is nice. Can't wait. I also got a 1895 SBL in 45-70.

You're right on track. I'd second the starting with irons, teaches better basic marksmanship and they will fit him better at his age.

Memories :-)....Grandpa started me at 5 years old on a single shot 22.

Not quite something I paid for but....received my 308AR back from the manufacturer on Friday, and there was new upper receiver along with a new Magpul fixed rifle buttstock on the gun.  Now my APF carbine is set up exactly the way that I have wanted it setup since purchasing it, along with totally flawless performance with all ammo, including my handloads (my handloads were the only thing that didn't function 100%) .  A redesigned case deflector,  and everything is 100% now.

If I could do a happy dance with the keyboard, I would still be doing it!

In no particular order......pneumatic penis pump,slinky red dress,black pumps,lipstick,mascara,bra and panties,diapers,butt plug, a new name ( Joycelyn) if my upcoming operation fails freaked out smiley       Wash

That is quite the prepper's list, wash. Sure you don't want to slip a pink hand cannon in there somewhere with all that? ;)

Picked up a couple boxes of ammo today. Hope I can find a good use for it.

Hunh.  I can't help but notice from your photo that your Marlin is in stainless phuckin' steel!!  Which is like a MILLION times cooler than Tom's plain blued one!

+1... It took me forever to find mine. Mainly because I wanted the straight "guide" stock too. I was VERY tempted to chop a few inches off, thread and add a brake to the barrel. My sights are a little off too.

I'll see how the sights do this weekend. Could only grab a couple boxes of 405 core lokt. Rifle has a bit of brown in the checkering....I'll get used to it.

I found cases of Federal MK319 MOD 0 local to me. 130 grain heaven here I come. Buying a case is a leap of faith, but I don't think it's a bad choice. My 16" Oracle should love the stuff. The wife on the other hand, is going to hate > MK319. lol

I'll get back to you on how that works out. Headed to Kingman this weekend. Come on up and say Hi. 

I'd love to but my weekend was already planned out for me.

Got family up there?

Inlaws.  Haven't seen em since the baby was born, so it was time to come out and visit.  

It's a good time of year to visit there.

Before it hits 130°.
