My new granddaughter

Congratulations Mom & Dad, you too, Granpappy! And welcome, Miss Finley!

You started her build yet?
 
Debating what to build. I’ve thought about just getting her a bolt .22 rifle.
Start her off with a semi. Get her used to sight alignment & trigger control, then learn her to work a bolt once her li'l fingers get some motor skills!

I sure she’s going to shoot whatever is in Granddad’s safe!
 
Precious! She’s got some big bright eyes ... and major head of hair.

If I were buying a kid rifle I’d be looking hard at the new offering from CZ ... the 457 Scout. A platform you can grow with ... nice iron sights and easy to upgrade stock, barrel or go from single shot to mag fed not mention already threaded from a can! Just my 2¢ ...

I’m a huge CZ .22 rifle fan. That was my thoughts as well. I’ve got several 455, one in. Varmint stock and one in a Boyd’s Tacticool stock . One in walnut. She’ll love whatever.
 
Congratulations to the whole family! Beautiful.
 
Well, Hello Darling.
Congratulations to all.
 
Congrats!

That look says "Hey I'm naked here get that camera away from me!" LOL
 
Hey congratulations, that’s awesome!
 
Congratulations! A whole new life awaits both her and you!
 
Wonderful!!!!!! Help, lead, guide, encourage with enthusiasm. Hold and look closely at the wonderment. A precious gem.
 
Finley?!?! My daughter's name is Linley! Congrats!!!

I ended up with a CZ 455 in .22 wmr. I really dug the stock and it was the last of those stock, CZ isn’t making them anymore. I may keep this one for me and give her my Granddad’s old Winchester octagon barrel pump.

I love the Mannlicher stocks, beautiful wood with old world Austrian style. Years back I had a shot at a vintage Butter Knife 7x57 Mauser with a double set trigger in a Mannlicher stock but I was on business and it’s price matched its beauty ... I still regret not buying it.

Anyway hate to say it but CZ discontinuing (or replacing it with the Match Target stock) killed the beauty and grace of wood. I’m with you on you keeping it ... a kid will beat that Turkish walnut to death. And you can still pick up a little Scout for $325ish for her.

I really didn’t want a .22 WMR but, you get what they got so whatever. I’ve got plenty of.22 mag in the ammo locker anyway.
 
Congratulations to the family, she’s beautiful!
