[QUOTE="ChuckBlaster, post: 519161, member: 34922"] Thanks for the welcoming Rich! Been a member of RFC, Optics Talk, and 24hcf, since I was 12-13 but for some reason never frequented this forum. Guess because I didn't have the equipment to shoot long range till recently. I'm 22 now and man has the internet helped me learn a LOT about shooting. Up until I got a custom 6mm a couple months back the biggest (well, longest shooting rifle) that I owned was a .22-250 and the furthest I've shot with it was on paper out to 600 yards. Weren't pretty groups either. Finally saved up enough money to get a nice long range set up. Still working on it now. Have one of the new 5-20 SS scopes on the way to replace the SS16 and lookin to buy a new rangefinder to replace the Nikon 440 which is half useless for everything but the .22lr. The .22lr has been great in helping me learn to dope the wind. Grew up being told and believing that it was only a 75-100 yard round, then started seeing 200-300 yard stories on RFC and next thing I knew I had a new scope and rings on my rifle to get me out there and after some practice, 75-100 seemed almost as easy as 50. Sorry for the extended reply to a simple welcoming. I tend to ramble on once I start typing...:rolleyes: Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
