Since my first post I have joined an outdoor range, bought a 6 inch and 3 inch 'gong', and have shot 800 rds of 22LR and 500 17 HMR. Since school got out I take my 14 year old grandson with me. He is getting pretty good and only wants to shoot the 3 inch at 100 yards. We are using a bipod on a bench. Next purchase is going to be a Lux barrel so we can use the iron sights, can't decide on what caliber for the Lux. I really want to get him off the bench and bipod. We are having so much fun at 100 yds he wants to try 200 so I had to buy a Savage in 223. I bought the Savage because a guy at the range had one and let me try it. It's a nice shooter.
