Old rifle, new operator

My oldest with the 6mm I've had since 14. I've been agonizing over finding
her a youth model like I wanted, wasn't gonna cut the stock off on mine :eek:
A friend came by other day and gave me an original, factory Ruger M77 stock
to cut off for her. 1 1/2" later and a re-fitted recoil pad, in business.
Now to get her in front of a deer. Surprised me, she put 4 shots into
about 2 1/2" at 50 yards, first time shooting it.
She's asking in the picture, "Are you SURE it isn't going to hurt?"

Wannabe...

Way cool Jeff!!! I hope her first one is a wall hanger.

that is toooo good

Like they say "work on stock=a little time and love, look on that younguns face= priceless".

Hope she gets to bust a big one, Jeff! Happy hunting.

Way to go J. The smile says it all.

Thanks for the pictures, Jeff. That girl has grown a mile since we saw her last. And she's a doll, also. Miss Linda and I think she looks a lot like her mother.:D:D

I have to agree that smile is worth every penny you spent on getting that gun in shape for yer. Good job! To both of you.

Thanks for the kind words and wishes folks :)
I'll try to remember that when I'm sittin in a deer blind thinking about
fishing :p

Really, I'd got to the point where I could drop the hammer on one and
before the shot quit echoing, the excitement was gone and all I was
thinkin is "I gotta gut this thing and DRAG it outta here"
I got hopes that seeing it through her view will put a little fire back into it.

absolutely MARVELOUS!!! I love to see the youguns taking part

Trust me J, you still gotta drag and clean it. LOL.

Wannabe...

when are you going to take her

Oh, if I make it until Saturday I'll be doing good. Really need to build
some of them outhouse lookin do-hickies, but I'm sure she won't wait
on all that.
