Not exactly but he didnt know the differnce. My 7 year old been going to the range with me for a while but this was the first time he wanted to stay for more than an hour. Turned into a 3 hour trip. We typically bring his CZ 455 Scout but this time we brought my CZ 455 VPT, guess that was all it took. On the way home he asked if he could have my 455. Told him I would think about it and ordered him a 457 Varmint Pro when I got home. Got all the stuff gathered to finish it off about a week later and spent a Saturday getting it setup. Just waiting on a cheek riser to get here. ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48506813126_3151553017_b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48506813186_7e6db7b797_b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48506987497_b779bd8597_b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48506987697_8d05e0c291_b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48506987737_7448f5977f_b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48506813436_b6e1e6d081_b.jpg)

Congrats to the mighty young hunter. Go forth and concuer!

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

What did you use paint wise. I like that a lot. Would be close to matching my McMillan rhino camo

Very cool.... Love it when a kid shows interest and has an opportunity to pursue something they enjoy.

Does look very good. He did awesome. If you don’t mind was it just rustoleum spray paints? Wouldn’t mind to paint a McMillan I have that is factory gray to closer match my 260. Those colors would be close to a match.
I’m thinking of a 457 precision trainer or tacticool. Any thoughts as to if the precision with manners is worth the price difference.
