If anyone from Santa Fe or Albuquerque(or anywhere near Santa Fe) is going to be attending the Appleseed shoot on the 14-15 in Cruces I am willing to pay to take me back to town. I will be attending the shoot with my wife but she will have to leave on Sunday at about 11a.m. to attend a meeting...

Re: Marksman Rifle Great thanks bro, I hope I will be able to attend, a member on ARFCOM has attended a couple and also goes to 50 cal shoots up at Whittington as well. He might be a member here. thanks for all the help guys, your always polite and civil despite the contents of my posts, Floyd

Re: Marksman Rifle So I just bought a .22! Its the Ruger carbine version...I hope I can now get to the shoot...if not, I'm just going to practice practice. I want to eventually restock it and add some upgrades, but for now, I'll use stock irons and shoot as is

Re: Marksman Rifle Great, thanks for all the help once again guys. The shoot is next weekend so I have to not only get a gun, ammo lodging food, register for the class and any other odds and ends that I will need for the shoot. So hopefully we can get the money to afford all this. If not, I...

Hey guys, I am thinking about going to the local pawn shop and picking up a cheap Ruger 10/22 to take to an Appleseed shoot coming up soon. My question to you is, what if I cannot make it to the Appleseed shoot? Will I still be able train with the rifle without taking the course? What I'm...

Re: Best Shooting Steel Rifle? Thanks for all the help guys, as far as budget -km looking at no more than 1300, as for an AR, I was thinking Daniels Defense DDXV and for the bolt action...possibly the 5R or the Rem 700 package from Sniper Central. I would wanna upgrade optics eventually but I...

Hey guys, As some of you know, I was in the market for rifle to get into precision shooting and long range shooting. The plan was to pick up a Rem 700 5R and shoot the hell out of it. Well...things came up and my rifle fund diminished. I was originally going to get not only a 308 but also an AR...

Re: Above high end for first rifle? I was actually thinking of getting a .22 or .17 hmr to just start out. I wanted to get good with that then move up but am not quite sure. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Re: Above high end for first rifle? I'm going to have to let my girl deal with this addiction, I'll just succumb. Ha ha. I might try and get a used setup for getting my feet wet because I'll end up wanting bigger and better. Thanks for all the help guys.

Re: Above high end for first rifle? Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I can tell I'll be here a long time. But now onto the subject...I probably should have set you guys up with some rough guidelines for you to follow so I apologise about that. My budget after talking with my fiancee...

Hello my name is Floyd and I just joined the forum because I have interests in beginning long range shooting. I actually want to get me a State Arms 50 but know that it will be best for me to start small and most importantly keep cost as low as possible for getting my feet wet. I know that one...
