It fits him, but does it fit you? My right elbow would be hanging off.

I'm guessing the kid shooting off the bench is priority numero uno. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

Exactly what we have at our range!!! Nice job. You'll probably NEVER get your 1899 250-3000 back now that your son has taken a shine to it. Congratulations!!!!

I'm glad to see your boy doing-it-right in his shooting stance... no doubt due to your instruction... good job... that will serve him well for the rest of his life !~!~! I'd hate to be the deer that young fella puts his sights on... 'cause very soon after your boy aligns the sights, there will be a deer to drag back to camp and venison steaks, chops and roasts to eat the rest of the year and then some. Congrats on "doing-it-right", my friend... Strength & Honor... Ron T. It's smart to hang around old guys 'cause they know lotsa stuff...
