navydoc8778 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Good day to all! I am a navy Corpsman at Camp Pendleton, Ca. Just grabbed another 22 and am working on trying to figure out a build for my 8 year old for her first rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asmurff Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Glad you joined us.Are you going to start her with a bolt action or semi-auto .22? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navydoc8778 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 The one my mom got from her grandfather is a bolt gun. She can learn iron/open sight shooting, weapons saftey, and fundamentals of position with it. The one I want to build her is probably going to be based on a ruger action. She asked if I trusted her a few months back and when I told her yes, she asked for a rifle. Damn near made me cry tears of pride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmurff Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 It will be a great experience teaching her to shoot. There is so much fun stuff for the ruger, building it will be half the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navydoc8778 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 For Christmas, grandpa gave her a pink set of tools, so she can help. She has been asking when we are gonna work on the project truck, the jeep, her bike, or anything else she can come up with. I'm thinking the pink TAPCO stock might have to be the first purchase.
