Excellent choice, a rifle for your grand kids to fight over some day!

OK...if that's the only 2 grades then presume mine is the expert as well.....and if you are looking for somewhere to use it I think I can oblige....it can come and meet its distant cousin

Yesterday our daughter shot her first roebuck. Mauser 66, full stock, 7x57, 175 grs Partition. Proud daughter, even prouder old man.

Still have to work on her choice of "hunting boots"...

 

[degoins]

Very nice!!! Congrats to the lovely young lady!!

Congratulations to your daughter and you for having a hunting daughter. Boots look fine maybe PF Flyers. Not sure how many pair I wore out in the fifties and sixties. Would have wore out more if I didn’t go barefoot during the summer!

Congratulations on your first game animal young huntress! And congrats to her dad for teaching her the art.

Thank you for bringing up your Daughter to appreciate hunting & the outdoors.

De nada! No better time than hunting or shooting with own kids or enabling other kids to do so. Even here in Germany it is possible to help interested kids to enjoy outdoor hobbies.
Thanks for all the kind comments!

Magnificent. Even my daughter took her first muntjac stag with my Churchill Gunmakers Model Deluxe 7x57mm Mauser (using Winchester Super X 175Gr soft points) in 1990.

I find my cz550 7x57 my favorite gun ever. Have hunted many animals with it big and small but seems like sweet spot all rounder loads is currently 150gr ELD-X, with 44.9gr IMR4350 - approx 2680fps. Largest game hunted was Eland and furthest Eland shot @ 212m, but for most “bushveld” type hunting an excellent caliber.

‘Cmon fellas! I’ll bet most here have hunted in tennis shoes one time or another!
I have!

Hell I still hunt squirrels in tennis shoes. They are called sneakers for a good reason

One of the old great outdoor writers recommended moccasins or tennis shoes for putting the sneak on game. Maybe Nessmuk or Townsend Whelen but, I can't remember which.

Be careful of moccasins if pine trees are around. Moccasins have smooth leather soles & act like skis on pine needles. You will spend time getting up off the ground! Trust me I've been there. They are quiet & comfortable though!
