Hello from a proud new Browning owner

Post by Deco » 05 Oct 2013, 11:55 am

Hi everyone,

Just a quick g'day so introduce myself.

I'm new to shooting in general and to the forum, and as of this week am the proud new owner of a Browning X-Bolt Hunter in .270

Looking forward to putting it to good use and chatting with you all.

Deco.

Hey all,

Have moved here since the closing of another shooting forum. Look forward to chatting you all!

I love cars, drumming, zombie culture, loud music and other things but as far as shooting goes, I'm mainly a paper puncher with a .22LR and .223.

Want to get out hunting soon but I am extremely time poor!

Might see you around Belmont if you are in the area.

Cheers,
Tucker (Disturbance)

Welcome,

I see you've got a pair of AI bipods?

How do you find them... I've been considering giving one a go...

Does such an option exist. I went all through the settings and couldn't find it.

Yeah there is, it doesn't show on the 'quick reply' section though.

When you post your own topics it's there, or if you're going to reply to a topic click the 'full editor' link.

At the bottom of posting a topic or replying with the full editor there is an option "Notify me when a reply is posted" that you can tick.

You can do that too. Go to:

my account > board preferences > edit posting defaults > Notify me upon replies by default

Turn that to 'yes' and hit submit, and you're automatically subscribed to all topics you post in.

AI style. Chinese knockoffs. Hate them haha they are too loose. Looking at alternatives ATM. Probably go back to Harris. Buy 1 good but expensive bipod and just swap between rifles.

Zombies are freaking awesome man! When the world goes to hell and you want someone to save your non prepared ass, don't come crying to me :lol:

I just love the culture. I don't actually believe they are / will be real...

We did test having that as the default for a little while but more people were unsubscribing than were keeping the default alerts on.

If they are real I think I'll let them eat me so I don't have to live through an apocalypse of people saying "I told you so!"
