    Hi all.
    Started shooting at age 14, now 66 and still enjoying the sport.
    Only own the small stuff now (22's) for a bit of bunny shooting.
    Currently using a Remington 597 (these are a nice shooter once you put a Volquartsen extractor in), and my ancient Martini 22 (scoped).
    I live in Richmond. Look forward to maybe meeting some fellow members up this way.
    Regards to all,
    Kelvin.

    Welcome mate, my .22 is also a 597, used it twice in 10 years I traded an early Bruno Model 2 for it, what a mistake )
    (Should be called jammin jenny, mages are hopeless.)
    Are there actually bunnies around here, been here 13 years and seen bugger all on my travels.
    Welcome again
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Welcome Kelvin some good buggers from down your way on here
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks to all.
    Hope to meet some day.
    Getting into a bit of photography, metal detecting (Gold, of course), and Gold generally (panning, and sluice box).
    Looking to get a 'better' shooter in terms of quality (the Remington 597 is a fine wee rifle, but not 'cool').
    May have to get a new CZ, or an older BRNO model 2 (maybe).
    Then (if 'Missus B') allows, a nice wee 44mag Marlin lever action for the close range piggies.
    Best Regards guys.
