There are some really good men pitching in here. Well done gentlemen, well done.

Don't want to leave Chris out of this either. He's a good man and his gesture is well placed.

I couldn't echo this enough. I believe I've sent everyone that commented a PM about helping Barrett. Thank you guys so much for your generosity. The kid is on cloud 9.

I couldn’t agree more……the cream rises to the top and these are some of the best this forum has to offer - I’m in as well - gotta keep the kids out there hunting and shooting it is indeed the future of the sport!

I mowed lawns for 2 summers and had a paper route saving money to buy my first one- a Win. Model 1200 about 1995. I know what that first one meant to me

Count me in for $25!

Please let me know where to send the money

I THINK I've contacted, or been contacted by, everyone that's spoken on this thread. Let me say that I can't thank each and every one of you enough. This is one of the coolest things I've ever been involved in, and more than I could have ever wished for.

Here is my plan for this rifle and Barrett. Although the funds are pretty well covered for costs I want him to have some skin in the game. I plan to have him pay for half of the rifle himself so he can put himself out there with a commitment. I want him to also see what kind of generosity has been offered from everyone here so the other half will come from the funds that are heading my way currently. He has a savings account that he never takes money from where he's saving for his first truck and college. I honestly don't even know how much money is in it, but I know it isn't a lot. Either way, the $400 he's "paying" is actually going to go back into his savings account without him knowing.

Once again, to everyone that's watched, shown support, or sent money I'd like to thank you. You've made this kids's year with what you've done. CBinNH, thank you so much for what you've done and working with us on this. He's ready for deer season already and keep asking to start loading rounds so he can practice by shooting some pigs. I don't know if I'm going to be able to afford his ammo budget now, LOL.

Thanks guys, truly thank you.

OKH, please keep us informed on this rifle when you receive it. Would love to see photos of your son shooting it!

I mailed check earlier this week but it hasn't been cashed yet. Darn mail is so slow nowadays....

CBinNH (Chris), awesome thing you did here. One of the best on the 'fire.
