Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Advice for kids rifle

Here's a Stevens 200 in .223 (1:9") that I cut-down for the kids to shoot. I lopped an inch off the butt, and flip-flop padded it. I picked it up at a pawn shop for $225, and it has a SSS trigger in it. It'll shoot both the 75 Amax and HPBT fine, but I'm at 5000'....

Pictured with a Nikon M-223..... but wears a 3-9 Leupold with Target Turets now. It's a hoot to watch the kids range, dial, and nuke cow pies out to 400 or so (using a BDC turret).... I think it's seriously their favorite thing to do with a rifle.
