For a first hunting rifle I think your daughter is getting the best rifle i've ever seen a kid get. So much for getting a single shot Crikett....
Adopt me!,
You are making me feel guilty about starting my son with a Ruger American.(HP Centerfire).

If she doesn’t like it can I be your kid.

Technically this was her first rifle. Rascal SBR with an AB little bird and NXS.
She’s gonna love it man!! I built my daughter one much like that when she was 11. If the smile tells you anything, she’s gonna love I! Lol
16.5” 6.5 CM Proof on an Origin w/ TT, MCS-CS, and NXS. She’s has 6.5PRC barrel on it now with ARC Rings and Kahles 3-12.

Nice cover story for the wife. Your new rifle looks great.
Your daughter is a very fortunate young lady.
I hope she enjoys it immensely, and with that you and her will create some unforgettable memories

I really need to get that kydex cheek piece installed on her stock and 2 on my pro hunters. Did you just send to Manners and have them do it for you? Or is it a home job?
Well, you are definitely not a poor.
Remember when you hit that trailer park hot chick in 1976? Hi Dad!

I dunno man. I didn’t do it cuz I wanted to build her the best rifle. I did it cause I wanted to build her 1 rifle with multiple capabilities that she wouldn’t out grow, instead of several rifles / calibers / optics.
With that rifle she has 224Valk, 6.5CM and 6.5PRC barrels / bolt heads, and enough adjustability the stock that she’ll never out grow it.
Long run I think it saves money.
I’m waiting on a form one to be approved on this CDG and I’ll have my own 12.5” Grendel
I hope she’ll enjoy it. She already knows it’s hers but she’s too young right now, she’s only 2 1/2! She always asks to go hunting with me and asks “daddy, you shoot pigs?”
It was ordered that way
Thank you, it’s heavier than I would have liked, it’s probably close to 12lbs. But the stock is heavy due to the adjustable hardware so it was unavoidable. This will be a tripod gun for her.
Too bad I wasn’t even a glimmer in my dad’s eyes yet back then!
Put this together for granddaughter it’s a Bergara 6.5 CM chopped with a MDT chassis topped with a NF 2.5-10x42..
and her NM elk taken at 260 yds
Yeah stock is heavy. Mine used hers for hunting / range do awhile and now that she’s a bit older (16) and done growing I ended up getting her a Mesa Altitude strictly for hunting. She still has the CS but the altitude is a nice / fairly inexpensive solution for a lightweight system. Eased up on that weight quite a bit. Comes in around 8lbs now with Kahels 3-12 and no bipod.
This is how it sits now with a 22” 6.5PRC barrel and it’s really handy with the 16.5” CM barrel on it.

I have lighter options, but nothing can get that short and I wanted the extra weight to soak up some recoil. By the time she gets old enough to actually go hunting with me I’ll have a 6.5PRC in a manners PH for her.
100% same reason I did it. I’m with you on the pro hunter. I just got my 1st one and it’s hands down my favorite hunting focused stock to date. Fixing to sell her CS and order her a lefty PH. Below is my 308 I just switched from an EH1 to the PH and glad I did. This will Be her next stock as well
I have two LRHs right now, interested in seeing how I like the PH compared to them as they are my favorite right now.
It’s a great stock man. Light, ergonomics are on point and the features is has at that weight is pretty nice. You can tell they put a lot of thought into to. After seeing it in person, I went and ordered another for my 7RM. As soon as I can sell the CS I’ll order a LH one for the kiddo. You’ll be pleased with it I’m sure
I have one sitting on the parts shelf, might throw a barreled action it in and try it for a bit.
Another one of us. Now she definitely gets her own rifle. At least they make a lefty.
Action changed, maybe trigger for a lefty version (they make a lefty diamond), stock recut for lefty or new lefty cut stock. Everything else should transfer over.
LRI can lefty convert the stock.

I just ordered a LH coup de Grace, another stock and I’m going to do a 16” 6ARC for this one. The Grendel has more recoil that I thought it would.
