Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments....ya made his day all around.
Traxx, although this gun is his, he understands he has to earn it. He only can have it when he proves he knows good gun handling safety, has a sincere respect for what he's doing, and generally grows up a bit. Even told him that just because I keep harping it is so he learns and not because I'm mad or such....he has a good ways to go and I really hope he "earns" is rifle. Like I said he has to earn it, and he knows that.
Thank you all again for all the wonderful comments, he is really enthused.
