You would be considered a very evil man in the Utopian Left coast

Yessir. That's it. Still accurate too. (reply)

Continuity is vital. Same rifle? (reply)

I seem to remember one had a Pope barrel?

I took my 8 year old grandson to the Range yesterday.

I have been teaching him and his younger brother to shoot. Mostly with BB guns. We have a Daisy Red Ryder and I bought a new Daisy Model 25 .. the single pump BB gun. Also been using the Winchester Model 67 that I cut down for them and the Colibri "silent" loads.

For the range I took 2 .22 rifles. One is a Ruger 10/22 that has a red dot sight and the other was my Grandpa's rifle. He bought it in the early 1900's. I got it from Grandma after Grandpa passed. It is a Stevens Marksman.

It is a break-open action.

On the range I had him shooting 2x2 inch wood blocks at about 50 feet. He got onto them pretty quickly and enjoyed seeing them explode when he put a HP through them. We used both rifles and after we were done he said he liked "the old gun" best.

The Stevens will be his. I explained to him how I got it from my Grandpa and that he was getting it from me. It will be his duty to pass it to his grandson and hopefully start a family tradition.
