:birthday: Red Ryder at 8 Marlin 22lr at 10 Ruger Single six at 12 Remington 1100 and Marlin 30-30 at 15 What I wouldn't give to have those guns back. Traded them like baseball cards. Unfortunately, not much has changed, except better guns. Would have never guessed I had all the guns I would ever need by age 15. |
No matter how much a woman says she wants to hunt, no woman wants a rifle for a present, let her use your gun and get her some jewelry or some nice girly boots for xmas. youll get alot more "bang" for your $$$ trust me.:D

Savage .22LR at 10 Remington 600 .243 at 12 Remington 870 12 ga at 15 The only one I don't still have is the Red Ryder. And yes, it's true. If you give your girl a firearm, make sure it's accompanied by glittery things. |

At least until she tried it on and found a pair of pearls in the pocket. |
Well I feel a bit better now, thanks unclehomer. My son has been reloading with me since he was 4, shooting bb gun with me since he was 3 and 22 since he was 4 as well. I have an old Winchester bolt action single shot that I would sit with him and shoot till he could prop it up by himself. I have been handloading 100gr half jacket Hornady bullets over Trailboss in the 30-30 since last fall and he loves that. We went to the gun shop and tried a few guns and the TriFecta just seemed to fit him best and cover all bases. He has been with me when I have bagged deer, turkey and grouse and loves it. I figure the $300 now is better than throwing $20-$60 at video games to keep him entertained. I gave him the .243 for now and he gets the 22 and 20 gauge barrels for Xmas.
