1st off I thank everyone who responds to post on this sight. Even though I don't post often I have used a lot of what you guy have suggested. If it wasn't for this sight I would not have even attempted building my own rifle. Anyways Thanks Back to boy. I have been shooting a little more with...

Thanks everyone. I have a friend with a 6tcu that I might see about shooting. If for some reason that doesn't work I might try a fast twist 223 and shoot some heavy BC bullets. Thanks again for the input

I am looking to build/buy a rifle for my son. He is one the small side 45lbs but love to shoot and is getting pretty good with the 223/204. Both are light non lead reloads that lose a lot after 200 yards. I am looking for something that will be able to shoot well out to 500. The gun will only be...

Thanks. We are going to get back out in the next couple of days and give it ago again. Probably focus on the 22lr so he can shoot a lot. It's hard keeping him Away from the big guns. He wants to shoot them so bad. Only 8 and 45lbs just a little to small for the 30 cals Thanks

The only problem which really isn't a problem is that all of my guns are right handed so I would have to get him left handed guns instead of passing my down. He is right handed and when running around with the nerf rifles he holds them right handed but leans over so he is looking down with his...

Well I have been taking my son out lately and he is doing well. I have him shooting right handed but had to make a patch to keep his other eye closed. His twin sister shoots right handed but both eyes open. What I have noticed is that he naturally left handed when shooting. I can either keep...

Well I was wondering how long it would take my son to out shoot me. I guess it has to happen to all of us at some point just did not think it would be when he was 8. Anyways we were shooting a savage 223 target rifle which is a great shooter. Dialed I. At 100 and I was shooting around .5 Moa and...

Thanks for all the help. Still in the middle. When I get home I am going to lay everything out as far as hunting gear and see what really needs an upgrade and what would be fun to upgrade. As far as the rum I have two really good scopes I could put on it but then I would be in the same boat...

It makes me a little nervous to play with something that is shooting well even though I know for true long range it's not set up right. But for 400 yards and in its a great light weight mountain gun.

The 300 rum has a cheap plastic stock. The 300 win mag is a sendro with some work done and high end leupold scope. I just have not shot it to much. The rum I have killed a few animals and have a good load worked up. Still wondering with 168ttsx if I am not getting enough from the rum. It shoots...

Well the wife gave the ok to get another gun if I wanted which is great. The problem is I have been thinking about using the money to upgrade some of my gear instead. I have a stock Remington 700 stainless steel 300 rum. I have a leupold rifleman 3&9. The gun with everything stock shots great. I...

I built a 260 off a savage action and it's really fun to shoot. I have only got out to 400 yards on paper and it keeps Moa. Longest animal shot was at 350 and it hammered it with 120 ttsx.

I have a very light weight 300rum without a break and it does let you know it's there. Not something I would shoot all day long but for what I use it for it works great. I usually check zero once a year with a three shot group at a 100 and then shoot steel up to 500. After that it's a hunting...

I am getting ready for a very important deer hunt this winter. I drew basically the best hunt that you can in California and would like my 8 1/2 year old son to be part of it. The hunt can be as easy or as hard as I want. Since this is a once in a life time hunt I am going to take it serious and...

Are there any good books out there about teaching youth about shooting techniques. I have been taking my kids the last couple of years and they are really starting to get into shooting. I have shot all of my life but I am looking for a little information to make sure they are picking up the...
