Introduction
It's a nice forum you have here guys and girls.
Pull up a sand bag, and I'll introduce myself.
I got my first air rifle when I was nine years old, I was happy plugging away in my teens, and was given an apprenticeship in rifle & shotgun from some old hands.
In 1997 I did a Basic Practical Shotgun Course (DVC!), and have used pistols about half a dozen times - rimfire & fullbore.
I have a healthy addiction to launching lead, though rarely use a shotgun these days, being more dedicated a rifleman.
Every week, I keep sharp with the .22Lr's, and every couple of weeks, I get some time on paper with the Centrefires. In between times, I do pest control and deer management.
A part of my salary gets consumed by the expense of copper, lead, vihtavuori & petrol.
All the best, Danny

Re: Introduction
Good to see you on the forum Danny, I think Christel aspires to F-B(UK) being a 'nice' forum so no doubt she will be pleased to read this. What centrefires do you shoot?

Re: Introduction
Hi Danny, jump in!
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!
Re: Introduction
Thank you both for the welcome.
I use .223Rem 6x51 (I'm too big a bloke to use a .243win!)
7-08Rem & .308win.
I must confess, I can't stop tinkering with my rifles/scopes. There's always one set up that I'm planning on "improving".
The Finnfire's going to get it next! :mrgreen:

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Re: Introduction
Improving is good! 6x51? I would be interested to hear more on that, I have necked .308 down to 7mm, 6mm and .224 in the past 'Just to see what they looked like'DL. wrote:Thank you both for the welcome.

Re: Introduction
It's my warped sense of humour Davy! I'm too macho to admit to owning a .243, so I call it a 6x51 or a 6-08!ovenpaa wrote:Improving is good! 6x51?
