Thanks Sako for the kind words about my little camper. I purely love it! Wife and I use it for short trips and such, but it is primarily my huntin' `n fishin' rig <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />. It is perfect for one person, and not bad for two (if you're pretty good friends that is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ). It's been all over the lower 48 on several hunting trips, and up the Alaska Hwy and back once. My hunting bud and I have things down to such a routine now that we can pull into a campsite, level up, and be set up in 10 min or so, and be away almost that fast next morning, after the coffee is ready <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.
The rifle in the pic is one of my old Win model 320's. I have two and this is the better one, the other is pretty much a beater. I've since put this one in a factory new, 30-year old stock and put the pictured stock on the beater (its stock was pitiful <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> ). The new stock is somewhat darker walnut but has pretty grain. It wears an old B&L 2-7X32 Scopechief and with Win HV, Power Points, or DynaPoints, it'll keep 5 in less than a half inch if I do my part (don't always do that tho <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> ). All three types shoot to almost same POI and do real well on the bushytails. I'll probably take it this time, along with my recently completed 10/77-22 hybrid. That one shoots pretty well the same ammo, almost as well, and does great with Wolf Match Extra. May not do much good (never have done well in the spring) but I plan to have a great time!
Sounds like your daughter is ready <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />. Encourage her all you can and don't let anyone else (including the wife <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />) dampen her enthusiasm. I have a 21-year old grandaughter who was mine and her dad's best hunting buddy growing up. She has two little girls of her own now, and while they are still too young to be out much, she's getting them ready for the outdoors, animals, fishing, etc. They seem to take to it just as she did, and with any kind of luck, I'll be around long enough to teach them a few things as well.
