[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1081552, member: 90399"] Hello All! Seems like every time I Google a question I have about rifles this forum kept coming right at the top of the search results. Figured I should probably join as I'm on here reading enough already! I was lucky enough to grow up on some land with my family and shot quite a lot. My dad even had a FFL for a number of years and did some moonlighting as an arms dealer and reloader. He had me melting down wheel weights and casting bullets by 10 years old (And got paid 1 penny per bullet. Definitely less than minimum wage). Fast forward to a great Air Force career and into the corporate world... I stopped doing much shooting for 15 years of so; except for the first couple days of deer season. A couple of my current coworkers are avid shooters and I went out with them a few months ago. Dang, I realized I still enjoyed doing this! We had a blast! So I've picked up a few new guns in the last 3 months and have really been enjoying myself. Also a great side benefit is it gives me something outside to do with my older son and my dad again. Which I love. [B]Current arsenal includes:[/B] 20 gauge single shot. New England Firearms. (First gun, got in 4th grade). 30-30 single shot. (Still can't understand how a 30-30 kicks so hard?) 12 Gauge Rem 870 10/22 Ruger 303 Lee Enfield (maybe my favorite bolt rifle, and I'm not sure why?) Del-Ton AR15 Hi Point 40S&W pistol (Only downside is people judging you. Very accurate) Hi Point 40S&W carbine (shares mags and ammo with the pistol) Mosin Nagant 1903A3 30-06 (almost museum quality I bought from wife's great uncle) 270 Rem 721 inherited from great Grandpa. 30-06 Rem 740 semi auto inherited from Grandpa. 30-06 Rem 783 Haven't really shot past 300 yards before. But I've never really had an urge to until now. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
