You're too late, I've already got my paperwork for adoption in for approval, his wife just wants to make sure I'm house broken before signing off!

Looks good my friend, I'll have to keep my kid from seeing this, he doesn't need any ideas.

I can't wait until my son is old enough that I can use him as a scapegoaat for my gun buying addiction. "But, honey, its for him! Doesn't he deserve it? He did get an B in Gym this semester!"

I like the look of the 20 inch barrel on with that stock.

Jason you are next in line, HOWEVER...no indoor plumbing around these parts, so look beyond the rifle, its a long walk in the middle of the night!!

Wow. You are an awesome Dad.

I feel shitty for buying my 6 year old a Buckmark, a CZ Scout .22 topped off with Leupold's Rimfire EFR, and a CZ Ultra Lux. And to add to this, I'm selling my .243 once I receive it from GAP.

Wow, that's an extremely sharp looking rig!

I have my first custom (7mm-08 light weight hunting rig) being built by Beanland over the next several months as parts trickle in to him. I can't wait to see his work....so far I've heard nothing but great.

I run my AR's at 2.260 so 2.5 is out there.

You have got to stop posting all these sweet rifles Jon is building for you. If everybody knows, he won't have time to build my rifles anymore!

Thats a sweet looking rig. Congrats to your son. I'd ask for a range report, but I already know.
