New join from PA

[religated]

Been reading here for a while but, with a couple different rimfire projects in the works will be lurking more and now I can view the sweet pics.

Welcome. I'm like you, new member but long time lurker. What part of PA do you reside? I live near Somerset in the sw part of the state.

Thanks! I'm over in the Bucks area, North of Philly but still somewhat south. Hoping to head a little further west at some point. Ranges further than 300 are few around here without knowing someone who knows someone.

Sort of the same deal out here. Easier to be on the good side of a farmer or 2 and own your own steel around here.

Religated, any chance of trump building a wall on our side of the state to keep the jersey/New York libs out? Although, I’ve worked in Bucks. Pretty fucked down there too.

Welcome fellow Keystone man. This place is filled with fellas that really know the sport and share their knowledge. Hope you enjoy it. How far are you from the University rifle club, they're located outside go Reading.

Mike 556, Reading is probably about an hour...closer even if headed from work, looking for University rifle club now.

Alphatreedog, I have looked into New Holland, currently seems there's a waitlist and sponsorship, I did notice Onetaunalee which is possible seems weekends shut down this range a lot for matches but def a possibility. So I have a few 556 builds I like working out to 500 just for old time sake (M16A2 qual in the corps). Would love to bang some steel, have a couple different blasters M92, Scorp evo, X95. Currently piecing together a VQ 10/22 that I'd like to work on groups out to 100, test out what to feed it. Eyeballing .224 to go a little further out but that's still a lower receiver until twist rates are tested further and a few other barrel choices become available.

Appreciate the warm welcomes and range advice as well!
