[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1480851, member: 1656"] I'll add to the pile, rebarrel and enjoy Dad's rifle. I was recently enjoying my favorite rifle (243AI) and also helping my young son (6) practice with his .22. I decided that when the time is right, I want to gift him my 243AI as his rifle so I can watch him enjoy it like I have. The 243AI is a hot round and no doubt I'll go through 2-3 more barrels before he is old enough to receive the rifle. I fully expect he will need to rebarrel it, and I don't hold that as any issue. That's just the nature of many high performance centerfire rifles. The history is in the "gun", not the exact configuration... I have Ruger 10/22 which is the first firearm I bought with my own money. As my oldest daughter out-grew her Savage Rascal and passed it down to her younger sister, she told me she wanted a red gun (Savage was pink). So I bought a Boyds stock in red, dropped my beloved 10/22 inton it, and gave it to her. She is happy shooting "dad's gun" and I am proud to have her shoot it, even if a few of the parts are different. [/QUOTE]
