My guess is the Rossi , stock and forarm profile are wrong for the Handi , but a good shot either way .

Why do jealous adults always have to ruin things by making negative comments?  A kid shooting a huge farm raised pig isn't a hoax.  It's a legal canned hunt which I fully support.

I doubt very seriously there is anything made up about this story.  A 5 y.o. and a proud grandpa would have to be in Hollywood to show that much excitement and pride if it were not true.

I saw this story on FOX news yesterday.  The only thing I saw wrong was the comments made by the talking heads on the news channel.  "I can't believe they let a kid use a rifle like that" was the nicest thing they had to say.  "This really disturbs me" was the comment from the other idiot.  They just don't get it.  They acted like this kid is now destined to be a serial killer or something.  They just can't believe that kids raised like this are the ones that become Law Enforcement Officers, Soldiers, etc;  Really ticked me off to hear their un-informed and idiotic spoutings off.

It's a neat story.
I believe it.
All you got to do is sit in a tree and shoot a bear eating bait 30yds away.

I guess they don't realize that a "rifle like that", with an open hammer and a safety, is about as safe as it gets.

That's impossible simply due to the numbers.  He might be related to Col. Crockett, but but Col. Crockett could not be his Great Grandfather.
