Ed..you do have a point. Momma does alright with a 22 rifle with a scope. I have a nice Remington Model 5..She shoots it quite well. But she is really slow with a scope.. With time she does well. I have an older Stevens 87A she does ok with... with open sights but not with any great quick precision. She shoots the old High Standard 22 I have very sell.. but the rifles just throw her a bit. We've messed with the AR mounting etc. She likes the red dot...but we haven't shot yet..Doing a bit of work round the place before winter. Cuttin wood etc. But tomorrow we're going to try shooting..just a bit to get used to the darn thing. She set the adj butt to where she likes it..seems like gettin in the seat of her car after she adjusted it to me..too up close for my tastes. But it is her rifle. She really is enthused. All I gotta do now is get her outfitted for elk huntin..but I doubt that will happen. She actually thinks moose are beautiful!!!HUH?? LOL. But I'm glad she is wanting to shoot. I made some target stands out of some PVC pipe the previous owners left around here. Hadda get some fittings but I made 'em large cause I have more than 500 yds to the cliff backstop. We're gonna try the red dot first but at shorter ranges.. Hopefully that will work out. Thanks for the reply..
