My 8 year old grew out of his Savage Rascal this spring and I couldn't find a suitable .22 replacement so I ordered up a Savage GV lefty 17hmr for him. Slapped a cheapo Weaver 3-9x and an old leather sling I had laying around, he's convinced its pretty much exactly the same as an early M40. I won't tell him otherwise. He loves it, who am I to pop that bubble?

We have been lazy just shooting off bags. This weekend the wife is leaving so we are going to work on shooting offhand with a hasty sling. I need practice in this area too, might switch it out to balloons or steel plates for targets so we can at least see some results.

Got myself one just like his, and am waiting for an old Weaver 10x to mount on it.

New rifle is awesome so far!

My shooting unsupported? Not so much haha. I'm not very steady and have spent too much time with a bipod or bags. I swiped the Leupold 3.5-10x off my older son's Chinese M1A so I could get shooting.

We spent our time at the 40 metre range as my 7 yr old was with us, she's inherited Hank's Rascal now. She did ok, shooting at a large Shoot N C target she had a big orange bull to try for.

Drinking a Tecate now.
