Good, start 'em young and bring as many women to shooting as you can.
Kudos on the young lady's trigger discipline as well.

and without a blink of an eye this is what my hubby bought out 15 year old.
It is at the gunsmiths having a new barrel put on so she can shoot 1000 yard. She was so excited and happy. (p.s. so was daddy)
Lisa,
Speaking as a male, when people and in particular our family are interested in our hobbies or passions, then we (I) get a request like this, it is not seen as a cost but an investment.
Knowing that your daughter has been involved on various teams, I am sure this is just the next step.
I wish you and her the best as well as the happy Dad.
Thanks
Nice to see a thread that brought a smile to my face this sunny Sunday afternoon :tup:.
Both for the happiness of a spontaneous and practical gift but also for the juxtoposition of a scoped bolt-action rifle and pink nail varnish.
Maybe it's an English thing but considering that we are quite 'proper' and straight-laced most of the time we do like to see stereotypes taking a good kick where it hurts every now and again.

That is an interesting rifle choice for a teen.

Connor has been around rifles most of her life and shoots on the Manitoba Air Rifle Team. She loves guns/rifles and wants to be a Forensic Firearms Analyst when she gets older.

Rock on! Good for her, and her parents
And you can't just leave us hanging...we need specs (rifle, caliber, glass, mods to the rifle, etc.)

This has me thinking we should have a little get together and do some serious shooting.
Tell your daughter and your husband that they make me proud to be a fellow gun-loving American. I find it very nice that they are doing this together and that she can be an inspiration to other girls that may be considering taking up shooting.

Oh, LOL, she is a clothes horse too, after all she is a 15 year old girl!!
And thank you for the compliment. I know that her years of shooting have instilled in her a sense of pride in what she can do with her abilities.

Sorry Matt, I missed your post somehow.
Rifle is currently a Remington 700 Sendaro (?spelling) 220 Swift. It is at the gunsmiths having a new 28 inch Gaillard 8 twist barrel chambered in 260 AI. The scope is a Bausch and Laumb 4200 elite on Leupold rings and 20 minute base.

This is one of the few places where heterosexual guys would look at the picture and say
"Pretty!"
"Nice figure!"
"I like what's up front!"
"Seeexxxxxyyyy!!!"
...and be talking about the rifle, not the cute girl.
