Of course, this is free recoil shooting over a front rest and heel bag with a 24x scope, and we're avid benchrest shooters. Granted, we usually just shoot "things" at the end of a day at the range (green army men, coins, bottle caps, etc), so we're in the groove and have plenty of sighter shots out of the way.
For his first rifle, not likely, but that rifle is capable of it, so maybe someday.
this is the first rifle i purchased myself, i own several shotguns and typically rabbit hunt, however im 25 and i've been shooting for most of it with rifles. 100 yards from a bench with a scope i nail dimes, ill get a video on here sometime.
