Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Great looking gun, she will love it for sure. Good choice on the cartridge, the smaller 6.5's have a lot to offer with mild recoil.

Only in rifles!
As stated prior, she deserves it. Good job!

That will do nicely. A 130 gr Accubond at 2850 fps is a really good all around load especially when it shoots like that.
