Saying Hello

#1 Post by Rifleman798 »

Hi,

Just thought I would introduce me self. Served in the Army for just over 4 and half years. I was a sniper and also shot for the Army at international level. Now I’m out I enjoy my shooting in a bit more of a relaxed atmosphere: D People often wonder why I like older weapons instead of all the modern ones ive fired, You can’t beat Character and the Reputations these Rifles have gained in War and peace time. Big fan of the SMLE and Mosin Nagant, My only "modern" Rifle is a Remington 700 Police. Still that is also based on an impressive reputation. Hope I haven’t bored you and look forward to posting in the future.

Cheers

James

Hi James,

Welcome to the forum.
Hope you join in the banter.

We are a very diverse forum, old and new, everything, even the odd cannon.

Good to see you here James, are you using your newly won RCO skills yet and going to come and join us at Barton Road at some point?

Welcome James. Fancy a trip to Diggle in June to show off your skills and put us to shames?
