G'day all, thought I had better introduce myself after lurking for a bit.

Lived in the Narre Warren area in S.E Vic all my life, closer to fifty years than fourty ;).

I used to shoot a CZ .40 cal pistol at The Springvale range many moons ago and absolutely loved the sport and people down there.
I bought myself and my Son a rifle each in 2012 to go hunting together as father / son combo. We plan to go hunting at the end / start of each year as a minimum. Three trips under our belt so far. We started with centre fire as my boy wanted to go pig hunting.

My rifle is a Remington 700 ss 5r in 223 cal with Carl Zeiss 4,5 - 14 x 44 Conquest scope

Son's rifle is Remington 700 sps in 30-06 with Carl Zeiss 3-9 x 40 Conquest scope

My second rifle is a Marlin XT 22 with Nikko Stirling 3-9 x 40 Mount Master scope.

Pretty happy I found this forum btw,

Cheers,
Brad

He he.

Tom is just stirring me up about the chickens because I had a big rant on here about how people say everything tastes like chicken and it pisses me off, ha ha.

Not stalking you ;)

Hey guys - I'm new here

Post by Shayla88 » 15 Sep 2014, 12:46 pm

Hey there!

As the title reads I'm new here and found these forums by researching for my uni assignment.

I've been a massive gun nut since my old man let me shoot his 0.5 cal.

Be good to join in the convos with yas!
