    Re: SHWW Group Wow, that would really be appreciated, thank you! Thinking back to the days when I used to shoot a lot more, I would say I've handled around 30-40 different guns. Enough to have a super vague idea of what I like/dislike but I don't know any specifics as far as a specific rifle...

    Re: New to the forum & have a couple Q's. The 6" thought was just a guess. Main idea behind the mini would be a ranged plinker. I'll check out the CZ 452 you mentioned. Any suggestions on the next step up from the .22 after gaining some profeciency?

    Re: SHWW Group Hey gang, new to the forums and to shooting. Thought I'd drop in the thread for the locals! I'm up in Arlington, don't have anything to shoot aside, from an old marlin 22. Going to try and pick up a new rifle in the next couple months and start seeing if I can get out there...

    Re: New to the forum & have a couple Q's. Haha, thanks for the welcome and the link! I've always wanted a new .22, never really cared for my old marlin. Cost isn't really a concern, though the point still stands. The driving difference between a lamborgini diablo and a volvo is night and...

    Re: New to the forum & have a couple Q's. Thanks for the BC info, I'll check it out. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be out shooting a lot more than that. But full time work & college, plus the wife and kid sort of put a restraint on time lol. I'll start looking around for a local range...

    Re: New to the forum & have a couple Q's. Forgot to mention that I don't have any interest in competition shooting. Only person I'll be competing with is myself. And I'll definitely be owning several rifles. Ideally giving me a range from a .223 plinker like the mini-14 to a long range, to...

    Re: New to the forum & have a couple Q's. All great advice, thank you. I know the mini 14 wouldn't be hitting MOA at 400 yards or anything, but it's always seemed like a great "bush" rifle to have on hand while hiking around the woods. Fun to plink with, with some practice and good optics it...

    Re: New to the forum & have a couple Q's. Thanks for the info, Doc. Why get into reloading? I know next to nothing about it. What are the advantages? How much does a 20round box of .300 Weatherby Mag cost? I never really thought about the cost of shooting *after* already having your set up...

    I've been looking around the net and stumbled across this awesome site and had to sign up! Was happy to see a few people from my area too (Western Washington.) I've probably put around 50,000 .22 rounds through different guns growing up, and maybe a 10th of that through mini 14's, SKS's, etc...
