[QUOTE="Heetor, post: 1003485, member: 79937"] Thanks for the feedback guys, this is really good stuff :) Brings back memories of me learning to hunt with my grandfathers old octagon barreled 30-30 lever gun. He used to tell me that it shoots three inches left at any range I should be shooting :) I did mull over the 30-30, and .308 for my daughters first gun before going with the 257 Bob. For my younger sons first deer rifle I did get him an old Marlin 30-30, that throws 130 grain Speer flat points at 1800 with a reduced charge. He has a couple of years yet until he gets his hands on this one though. I do prefer her shooting the bolt gun as a safety thing, the lever was a little hard for her to work so she needed to pull it down and grip the lever which left the barrel uncontrolled, maybe I am being paranoid. Open sights, that is a **** good idea, it's how I learnt to shoot. Maybe I am spoiling them by giving them scopes on their first rifles. Anyway thanks for the feedback. [/QUOTE]
