[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1604251, member: 93846"] The 7mm-08s & 6.5 Creedmoors are for my grandkids, once they get big enough. Somewhere between 10 and 14 years old I would expect. Except for grandchild #4! If he keeps growing like he's been, he'll be shooting an elephant gun by age 6! He's only 22 months old and is already 35" tall and weights 31 lbs! I believe he may be our linebacker... Each grandchild will start with their own bolt action single-shot 22 LR with iron sights, then move up to 223 Rem when big enough, and then up to 6.5 Creedmoor or 7mm-08 when they feel comfortable that are ready. I have already procured one of each of those rifles for the three oldest grandchildren. I'm just waiting to see what hand (eye) will be dominant it the younger two, before I purchase theirs. Already have all the rifles I've purchased for them so far, set up. Pillar bedded the actions, adjusted the triggers to 3 lbs pull, stress-free mounted the Picatinny rails, mounted the scopes in Seekins rings, did the load development on all of the centerfires and sighted them in with the final load. When they get big enough, I'll fit each rifle stock and scope individually for each of them. It is much easier to learn to shoot properly, with a highly accurate rifle set up specifically for you. Those rifles will remain theirs alone, hopefully to be passed on to their children. [/QUOTE]
