Brand New Arrival

#1 Post by Zilberbak »

Hi everyone,

Gloucestershire based and relatively new to shooting (last four years), but catching up as fast as I can with the help of my fellow club members at Glevum and Cotswold. Mainly shoot for the pleasure of it, although now fully engrossed with several competitions as well.

Ownership runs to the following in order of acquisition,

Ruger SR22 (action now sat in a Boyd thumbhole laminated stock for competition work and waiting on a Leopard stock from the States)
CZ 452 Varmint barreled sat in a Staffordshire Synthetics “AI” lookey-likey stock (heavy but great prone with an MTC Viper)
ISSC Mk22 22LR semi-auto (looks and feels like a FN SCAR, unfortunately without the punch but still good fun and more reliable than some of the bad press makes out)
Marlin 1894 .357 lever action (best fun ever and has got me in to reloading as well)
Lantac Raven 22LR semi-auto (although back with Lantac at the moment for mods)

Slots for

.44 Magnum (considering a Ruger 77/44, Chiappa Alaskan Scout, or Armalon if I could find one)
.36 Navy BP revolver

Also airgun-wise I have an Edgar Bros IVX, Crossman Nitro, several CO2 pistols in lieu of the ones I would have liked to have, a Diana 5G (£1 raffle prize), and a revelation for back garden plinking a Webley Alecto (brilliant bit of kit).

Envious of others on the forum shooting the larger calibres and may venture there sometime in the future. Look forward to any feedback or questions on the above especially with regard to .44 slot.

PS Like the Danish connection as I am big fan of The Killing and Borgen!

Welcome to the forum.

Forget the Killing and Borgen and find yourself a copy of the film 'I Kina Spiser de Hunde' (In China they eat dogs) Nothing to do with dogs or China however it is Danish and absolutely brilliant if you enjoy slightly dark Danish humour. One of my all time favourite films. It does exist with English subtitles.

Thanks for the welcomes!

With regard to my shooting if my gun hits the papery thing l'm very happy, if my gun it's the white ringy bit I'm ecstatic and if my gun shoots the black ringy bit l want to know who's shooting my gun!

Don't worry"running" is my first line of defence!
