Ruger m77/22 target in 22mag back around 1994. Put a 4x40mm nikon monarch on it and had a local smith bed it and massage the trigger down. I had a couple 22s I was allowed to use before that one but that was the 1st that I bought and it was mine and mine alone! It was a pretty expensive 22 even...
Thanks for all the words of encouragement. It's definitely been more of a process with my girl than my son but one heck of a privilege to be able to walk through with her. They were dressing up as whatever they wanted to do when they grow up today dor school and I swelled up pretty good when...
Let it out brother, keeps my head from swelling up quite as fast. My poor youngins get squeezed so hard they sound like a chiropractors office every time they connect. Can't beat that feeling.

Ahhh, the Dakotas in May. Brings back memories. Made a couple trips out back in 07 and 09 with my girlfriend at the time, wife now, but didn't get to shoot in SD since public didn't open for nonresident till June sometime. Spent a lot of time on the guns near Medora, ND. Way too much fun.
Very nice setup. Way easier to level up a rifle and simple to keep level while swinging. Bog deathgrip just seriously upgraded from one trick pony status.
Nice job bdfhunter. My boy will usually go for a stone cold killer face with a deer picture but I don't think you could wipe the big cheesy grin off his face with a 2x4 on a turkey picture.
