Rifle suggestions - Gift to my son.
That will be in the plans next year. He still has classes this fall so that is out. We both have a bunch of bonus points for deer here in AZ so we have a choice of some outstanding hunts. North Rim or going down south for coues deer. Also would not mind getting him out on an antelope hunt as we... -

Reviving an old thread. He got screwed on is BSEE as they dropped the one class he needed to wrap it up. That brings us to today. He will be getting his Masters in December! That and now I am in a different place financially and now looking to do a custom rifle build for him. Whoever we... -

I too have a Christensen but in a Traverse in 280AI taking it out for the first time Thursday. He did not care for the Traverse, or at least that was my impression, the Ridgeline FFT was also in the running for me. I know it is cosmetic but I have a gut feeling he is not going to like the... -

I am leaning on just getting him a scope and a note: Find your new rifle to mount the scope to! Me, I am liking the Sako85 and the Alamo Precision rifles. He likes the traditional style setup and those seem to be very good options. Waiting for him to come down from school to drop it on him. -

I do like the lines of the elevation LWH and didn't know they built rifles very intrigued. I also liked the way the Sako wood stocks look, I used to build presentation cases with my dad (he was president of Freedom Arms for awhile back in the 80s) and there is nothing finer that a great... -

The suppressor intrigues me. Yes sound was a trigger for his migraines so it makes sense. I didn't think they reduced recoil though. Also worried about the additional cost (how spendy are they?) and how it would work while hunting thick stuff like the cedars here in AZ with the extra 6plus... -

Having a child who is ill just sucks the life out of you. That said, we always thanked god it wasn't worse. We would have to go down to children's hospital at least once every 90 days for treatments. I vividly remember the day this cute little girl, guessing she was 7 or 8, was riding around... -

Tried that, I think he is on to me and got pretty tight lipped. For his 21st B-day we got him a 45. He was looking at an M&P but I talked him into looking at a 1911 as I know he loves military arms. Finally we tried a SA Loaded Marine Corp Operator (he wanted to join the Marines in the worst... -

I was thinking custom, I did want it before he graduated but that is not going to happen. May just give him a box with a scope and a blank check (with limits) to fill in what goes underneath it. That way he gets what he wants and not what I think he wants. Problem with that is he is very... -

Yes, and he is lucky. His last doc said he had about a 50 to 75% chance to grow out of it and said he was lucky with those odds. young women only have a 25% or less chance. Count our blessings every day. We thought he may never be able to hold a job, one reason we really stayed on him to... -

Yes, but a .243. Not enough rifle for elk and I think on deer sized game I would limit it to 300 yards, maybe 400 or so for antelope. Awesome first "big game" rifle for a young man though. My old man started me on a 270 at 11. It was too much gun for me at that age and developed some bad... -

Wow, stopped reading after page 5. HORRIBLE! What a disaster and added to the personal issues by @david2duck dealt with. Definitely glad they never returned by call. -

Sliders, I have been lurking for a bit here and enjoy the great amount of expertise. I am looking to buy my son a graduation present, he is finally graduating from college. I say finally because it has been a long hard journey for the lad. I apologize for the long post below but want to put... -
