The thumbs up picture with the closed bolt is his response after firing the his 1st round.
The rifle is his Cooper Firearms Jackson Squirrel Rifle
chambered in .17 Mach 2. With a 2.5-8X Leupold VX-II scope that has
been re-paralaxed to 50yds. The gun was purchased for him by my father
after he was born. It has a custom serial number of his birthday and the
scope is engraved with his name.
In addition to being a really nice gun, it is important to our family
because of the manufacturer. Cooper Firearms hosts a one-shot
competition each year where competitor have one shot to hit a 0.25″ dot
at 150 yrds and the closest to the dot wins. My father has won 3
paintings in the competition and a rifle.
When my dad presented the gun to Aiden (he was about 18mos old) we
took a photo and as of the SHOT Show last year I was told it is still
hanging in the company lobby… even though they have moved facilities.
