A not so new Newbie
Hello Everyone,
I got my first air rifle (well a smooth bore Daisy BB gun) when I was 8 or 9 years old and shooting has been a passion ever since. I flirted with shot gunning for a while, way back when you could hold semi's. I enjoyed my Remington 1100 but it was always rifle shooting that held my real interest.
I've held a FAC for 30 plus years, except for a short spell where I gave up shooting due to the commitments of young family.
I currently have 7 rifles plus an open slot for another 0.303. Hopefully a No.4T.
My rifles range from a 0.22LR Sako Quad to a tactical 0.308 built by Dave Wylde with a SMLE, K98, Speedmaster and a 6.5 x 55 Sako 85 in between. My collection is finished off by a lovely Martini Henry which I thoroughly enjoy shooting.
I shoot at a club in Aberdeen where there is a great bunch of guys and gals. Always helpful. Always friendly.
I enjoy reading the Forum posts and will contribute with a few of my own now and again.
Thanks

Re: A not so new Newbie
Welcome to the forum Mossy, it is always good to hear from people with some older rifles. Now you need to post some pictures!
Re: A not so new Newbie
Thanks I will post a few photos. I'm abroad at the moment and not home again for a few weeks but I will get some taken.

Re: A not so new Newbie
Ovenpaa,
Have been trying to attach a couple of photos of my rifles but keep getting the following message:
'The image file you tried to attach is invalid'
Probably not the right place to ask this question but not sure how to raise a general query.
Any ideas?
