She's 8 now, but was 7 in that pic. That rifle was my 700 SPS 260 that I'd cut back to 22". I stuck it in a youth ADL handle and put a 2.5x Leupold on top so she could shoot some Blue Dot loads I'd loaded for her. Once I'd seen that she was interested in shooting, I bought her a 700 ADL youth 20" in 243, bedded/floated it, and eventually re-scoped it with a 3-9x40 Redfield Revolution.

Her mom made us a 50% scale stencil for practice and we shot it some at 60-70yds. Aside from that initial high shot, she did okay. 2018 might be her year to draw blood.
