My son started shooting 1,000 yard F/TR last year at 14. Did pretty well for his age and using a rifle and scope we just had in the safe. It was not the best choice for F/TR but it's what we had. Using a Savage 10 BA and a 25X scope, his 2nd time out he shot a 522 and had a few relays in the 180's. I told him if he stuck with it, we might get something a little better for the job.
So we are starting this year off a little better prepared. Got him a Savage 12 Benchrest rifle and Nightforce NXS 12-42X. Only took this rifle out twice now but it appears it's going to be good. Just need to find out what COAL it likes and get a cheek rest.
He looks happy!
