Hello from Wisconsin
Been lurking around here off and on for about a year. Today I decided to go ahead and join up.
Living in WI now, but raised in Texas. My father and grandfather both had a lot of firearms, so I learned to both respect and enjoy them from an early age. Over the years I've owned a fair variety of firearms.
At some point I sold all of my guns. Ten years passed and I decided it was time to rebuild a basic stable, so last year I bought a Tikka T3 Lite in .270WIN and a Ruger SR9 9mm. What I consider to be a broad-range, useful hunting rifle and a standard handgun.
Currently I am shopping for an affordable bolt action rifle in .223 for inexpensive days at the range (but with a bit more excitement than .22 rimfire). This will be my "fun gun".
Future plans include a lever-action in .30-30 (I took my first deer at age 15 with grandpa's old Winchester 94) and a 1911 style .45ACP.
Of course I could list off a dozen brands, styles and chamberings that I would love to have, but gotta start somewhere.
I am by no means an expert. In fact, I'd consider myself a beginner, despite the years I spent handling firearms. Back then I never paid attention to any technical info, I just went and did a lot of target shooting out in the country with my grandfather. Did a little deer hunting, a little rabbit hunting, and quite a lot of dove hunting. Never did any reloading, never handled any exotic calibers.
I've been enjoying learning what I can from this forum. Hopefully someday I'll be able to put any knowledge gained to good use.
