Hello, I'm Mike and a new member. I am a life member of both the NRA and the Texas SRA. I also am an Appleseed member. I am married for the second time and live here in Texas the state I was born in. I like to shoot rifles mainly. I have several bolt guns and a few milsurps. I like to shoot in casual bench rest meets. I don't have any real bench guns or equipment, just my scoped hunting rifles which are mostly bolt guns. I have 2 Rem. 700s, 1 30-06 and one 22-250. I have a Mauser I had built into a 280 Remington, I have Howa I had rebarreled from a 22-250 into a 250 Savage. It has a Krieger Stainless 25.5 inch barrel and a Vari x II 3-9x40 in Leupold brand but Redfield style mounts. It is a shooter. I have a 1966 push feed 270 model 70 Winchester that I bought when I was 18 and inn high school. Even though it's a rattly old post 63, it is my favorite rifle. It has killed a lot of deer, not just by me, but everyone in my family has killed a deer or hog with it. I also have a Ruger 77 30-06 made in 1988. It is another favorite of mine. I also have a 94 AE 30-30 Win. I bought in 1981. I have some milsurps, Garands, 03-A3, 1917 Eddystone Enfiled, two 22s and two shotguns. I lost about 20 guns in my divorce in 2001 and am just recovering. I also have 4 handguns. I am not a big hand gun shooter, bbut what I have I love and one of them is a S&W 357 Revolver and another is a 1911. I also have several Mausers mainly for doner actions for projects. I am going to take one action, a Yugo 24/47 to my gun smith this week and he is going to build me something I have wanted for about 30 years, a .257 Roberts Ackley Improved. I'll let you know more about that later. I'm anxious to get to know you all and get with the discussion. I go on gun forums to learn and this one will be no exception. I have been around firearms for over 50 years, but I don't profess to know it all and I try to act humble about what little I know. I've been around the horn, but I realize you never stop learning. That's the beauty of life.
Sincerely,
Snake 284
