New members - please introduce yourselves here

Hi guys I.m from NSW Australia and came across this forum by accident. Have been a shooter for a long time but not recently. I sold my previous guns a CMC Howa 243, aMossberg 22 Magnum and a Marlin 30-30 when the our government bought in the gun laws back in 1996 after Port Arthur massacre and I was moving back to the coast from the bush.

Am keen to get back into it and have purchased a Marlin XT 22 but also want a centrefire and can't decide whether to go back to the 243 or a 223 which is more an allround calibre and a bit cheaper for ammo any thoughts appreciated cheers

New From Northern Nevada

Caution, Senior Citizen coming online.. LOL.. Folks, I found this forum while searching for a better more rounded forum. I've tried AR-15.com and it's ok but I hunt and most of those folks don't so when I put up a picture of my McMillan in the precision rifles section, I think there was only one person that knew what it was.

Hopefully I can contribute but I have to warn you, my writing isn't that good and people often misinterpret what I've written. I've gotten better but I still get accused of saying things I didn't mean. Sorry, if that happens just let me know and give me a chance to say it differently.

I'm in Northern Nevada where gun ownership is just a fact of life and no one (except the foreigners from California), flinches if you open carry at Walmart or Burger King. I love this place and Nevada is where I call home.

Hi, this is Scott. A little about myself; I am 49 and grew up shooting rifles and hunting in south Ga. Over the past 5 years, I have become interested in handguns and building AR 15s. My first handgun I purchased was a Glock 19, but like most gun lovers, I have added to my collection that now includes the following:

Glock 19 & 43, CZ 75 P-01 Cajunized defensive carry pkg, Springfield EMP4 (Stainless slide), S&W Shield 9mm, Ruger LCP 2, S&P Bodyguard, AR 15, and Marlin 30/30 gold trigger.

I have built AR 15 pistols, but ended up selling them due to lack of interest. Installing the P-01 Cajun Gunworks defensive package was a challenge, but I loved the results.

Good to be here!:)
 
What's up? I am GamestopDorito. I just recently turned 40 and decided to start shooting guns and it turned out I really enjoyed shooting the guns so I decided to turn it into my hobby.

I am just getting started, rented quite a few guns at the range, own a VP9 for home defense and pretty much everything else I intend to buy will be range toys or for the usual "when we're all living in The Road" scenario.
 
New member, Hello

I’m a newbie to this forum. It looks like this is a real informative forum. It should be fun reading and learning. Thanks, Doug
 
Hello from Colorado. Been a shooter for about 40 years. Mostly hunting in my early days. For the last 20 years it's been tactical and self defense. Glad to have found this site. Cheers!

Greetings,

Thomas here, and brand new to this forum. A rifle guy all my life, but recently taken a liking to single shots. Currently have a Ballard, a custom Ruger, and two Luxus 11s. Read a bunch about the DeHaas-Miller, but never handled one. I see where they have been praised as the Cadillac of single shots, and condemned for having trigger and lock up issues. Love to hear from any of you on the pros and cons of the DeHaas-Miller, how it measures up to your favorites, and what one in excellent condition without issues might be worth.

Best regards, Thomas
 
Hello, from the red dirt of Oklahoma.

I've been lurking here for some time, finally signed up. I look forward to participating, and sharing whatever knowledge I've gained.

I started reloading around 1987, but there is always something new, and always something to learn.

I've worked for our crazy Uncle, ran an automotive machine shop, was a heavy-line mechanic, chased a few warm 'n willings, and shot many pounds of powder. I've even been known to hoist a few cold ones, although not in the last 20 years (!).

The years are starting to catch up, so I've settled down somewhat. Not that interested in rip-snorting revolver loads anymore, but I'll still run off a few.

See you on the board.
 
New to TFL

Good day all, my name is Chip, (KragNut). And as the name implies, I am a big fan of the Krag rifle. I am 56 yrs. old, been reloading metallic cartridges and shotgun shells since I was 16. Recently purchased a Savage 840 in .30-30 Win. and had it converted to .30-30 Ackley Improved, trying now to find a good accurate load with 130 gr. bullets. I am looking forward to hearing from any other Ackley Improved gunners and Krag fans.
 
Lurked here every now and again, figured was time to create an account. Originally from the NE, been in the S, now west of the Rocky's.

Shooting since I was 7, loading pistol since I was in my early 20's, over half my life over again I mostly handload for bench and LRP, but still load everything other than shotgun.
 
From Namibia. Been hunting and shooting for 20+ years. Really envy the Americans for the choice of guns and affordability of components.
