Hello Guys n' Gals!

I have been working on my daughter's pinky build for sometime... The idea was to build something to capture her imagination and inspire her to join her big brother and I to the range and on small game field trips... to that end, I wanted a light and compact rifle that keeps the weight centered between her hands and that she can maneuver easily. I built this off of a 10/22 receiver and went from there... parts and process below;

- Ruger 10/22 receiver
- Ruger bolt, sent to RFC's "QUE" for his work up and matt finish
- Ruger alloy Trigger Group sent to Brimstone for David's Tier 2 job and RT Pink trigger and VQ internals
- Boyd's Blackjack SS Evolution stock (Black/Pink)
- Dlask 8" .920 bull contour barrel
- RT tactical charging handle
- Tac Sol muzzle brake
- Dura Sight Z2 scope base and picatinny rail
- Low (too low) rings, trigger, charging handle and muzzle brake all sent to Dale (RFC's daletr) for his anodizing magic... thanks buddy!
- scope pictured is an Alpen Kodiak 2.5-10X44mm, which was only put on because the rings were too low to mount the Hawke Varmint SF 4-16X44mm that I bought for this gun... that will be corrected shortly! Here is the Pinky as she stands;

Like the Aerosmith song goes, pink is my favourite color. Beautiful custom piece, I hope she has as much fun shooting it as you did building it.
 
Best you have the camera ready for the big ear to ear smile.
Kodak moments like this are to be saved and shared.
Those colorful rings sure add a nice contrast to the Pinkster.
I guess you bu$ted a g-note easily?....... :D
 
Lucky girl, and obviously a loving father~nice! :) My own daughter just got a Savage Rascal and is thrilled with it. Also the first time I've ever even considered buying a gun for anyone but myself~feels good!
 
Presented her gun to her last night... she loved it! She wanted to go straight to the range... unfortunately I had to slow her down, since I'm on a run of 12 hour shifts. We will get there this weekend and see how she handles her new weapon. We'll bring a trio of DAR22's... as my son and I did build's a couple years ago... we have ours tuned for CCI SV's... they perform flawlessly, with zero FTF/FTE's and group consistently around .4" at 50 yards.
