This afternoon I will be meeting up with a dad, to sell him a Winchester Mdl 250 .22 lever action, which will be going to a boy as his first rifle. I was originally contacted by the grandfather regarding the rifle, after I posted it for sale on Armslist.This morning I'll scrounge up a cable gun lock, a few hundred rounds of good .22 ammunition, some spare targets, and maybe I'll run out and buy a set of ear plugs as well.... all to go with the rifle for the young man.
I have to say..... I LIKE this.... the idea of three generations going out hunting and shooting together, and the young man being guided into life by his father and grandfather together. I like the idea that I might contribute to such, even if only in a tiny way.

Don't forget a cleaning kit. Boys need to learn to keep their guns maintained.
My dad taught me to shoot, and in turn, I've taught my teenage daughter as well. I fully intend to teach my two younger daughters also when they get older! Sadly my father passed away years ago, so he can't be part of the teaching/learning/bonding experience. But perhaps years from now when my daughters have grown up, I can teach my grandchildren along with them.
I was gonna say one of those little Hoppes cleaning kits, but... :-) And yes it IS fun!
