Grandaughter and Vintage Remington
« on: November 12, 2011, 05:51:41 PM »
Picked up an old vintage remingtion 722 in .300 Savage for the grandaughter. She had requested a bigger rifle after hunting for a few years with a 6MM Rem.
I thought the old .300Sav would be a good balance between some extra thump and recoil. Looks like it suits her well. She took this buck just this morning. :D

Once again, your granddaughter shoots a bigger deer than me.

She shoots like a GIRL!

No way!  I don't see the word "MAGNUM" anywhere.

Nice buck.  Classic rifle and cartridge.  They still work as good as ever.

awesome to see people keeping the family involved!

Very nice deer too!
It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

I noticed that too!    Nice buck, nice shot...  We need a thumbs up emoticon.
