Christopher's (my son in law) first rifle
#43272 - 07/12/05 01:47 AM

My son in law, having past his official hunter's exam this year, has started to hunt with me. I already found him a NIB Webley & Scott 12 bore and now, I located a very nice Mauser 66 in 7x64 for him. Needless to say, it was love at first sight and he acquired it (at a steal price, let me add...). Wish I had a father in law like his, 30 years ago...

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.

Looks like a beauty, when is he taking it on it's trial run. You are a nice father in law, dads do a lot when their daughters are involved. Good hunting with your son (in law).

Gosh, are you looking for the "Best Father in Law in the World" title?

Superb rifle and fantastic taste. Good hunting with your son in law!

A fantasic present André!

He must be very glad that he picked your daughter, and got you in the process!

I hope the two of you have lots of fun hunts together, and that he enjoys his new found hobby!

My only (I couldn't afford more

)daughter is 29 and married 3 months ago. Her husband comes as close as possible to the ideal I figured. Here's a shot from their wedding (I'm standing behind the young couple and my wife (in pink) and my old mother (in blue) to their right.

They are a striking couple. You should be proud. My sons are 27 and 35 and neither has married as of yet. Young people seem to be waiting longer before tying the knot now-a-days. Mine are busy going to Africa and Australia... and are now planning a trip to Peru. I think that is fine. Maturity goes a long way toward a successful relationship.
