Would love to see Pics of rifles purchased as a childs first; This is the proud dad Thread. Wife & I were buying for our son, turning 8. We were in academy looking at toy guns, and THE WIFE actually asked if it was time to graduate him to a real rifle. I have been looking at H&R Handy Rifles for years & always wanted one in .308 or 7mm-08. For an 8 year old, though, I really wanted a .243 to start him off with something a little easier on his young shoulder. We shot it in today & had to cut the range session short as they were closing, but I have it shooting minute-of-pig & am anxious to finish dialing it in. He got off a couple of rounds, felt center-fire recoil for the first time and has not quit jabbering about it. He is tickled pink. Here is his first rig---Show us yours!
