[QUOTE="blackbrush, post: 366972, member: 11280"] Being a strange duck here in America, I believe SO much in the concept of private property that it may sound hypocritical of me to make suggestions as to your property. I hope you are not offended... My gun experience pales as compared to the artists and smiths on this sight. I ran into my first 788 not long ago as a friend had one that wouldn't shoot anymore. After a cleaning and new crown it shot (factory ammo I might add) back to what he remembered. I won't go there on "...you could cover the group with a dime at 100 yards..." Be that as it may, I have NEVER seen a factory rifle shoot factory ammo like this 788. An alternative suggestion; find a couple of scratched up, banged up 788 stocks, do some fitting and incrementally whack off a portion of the butts so your children can graduate and learn to shoot the same way Dad did with Dad's same rifle. This may allow you to get your children in the field with you sooner enjoying and learning with Dad. There is not a better classroom in the whole world. [/QUOTE]
