Hello from washington state

[knguyen]

I have been learning to shoot again, many years since I shot as child
growing up going to school, staring family, and now things are slowing down somewhat that I am able now to begin shooting again.
Last two years have began shooting more rifle
currently got 3 savages:
a: 243 axis
b: 308 model 10PC, my first 308 and just love this rifle
c: 308 McMillian stock 24 inch heavy barrel, glass bedded and have worked up loads loads now and have it dialed in pretty well, 43.4 gr varget , lapua brass, 168 gr sierra HPBT
shot my first match at 600 yards with this Mcmillian stock rifle and I am now hooked on long distance shooting.
going from 200 yards at range to 600 yards is an opener, but way cool

my next project is looking at getting either savage Model 12 F/TR or Palma version of the savage?
my dilemma is my little daughter who is now 11 year old started shooting with me, so iam wondering is it worth getting the model12 F/TR in 223 and teach her to shoot , less chance of her becoming recoil shy. she is mastering her first rifle quickly: savage mark II 22 LR.
what do members think?
thanks a lot for any advice

Welcome. The 223 is a good choice to use teaching your daughter. With a well constructed premium bullet, it will take small deer too.

Welcome from the dryer side of Wa. Plenty of challenging and fun shoots/match's on this side starting in November. Sportsmans Challenge and Northwest Precision Steel Series. Google either and see if they fit your schedule. Relaxed event's. Sure, plenty of serious shooters. But always willing to help you get better. I have certainly learned a lot from them. Even have categories for the kids.
