Another new guy

[pdm25150]

Hello, new guy from Virginia, just getting in to BR shooting. Unable to do any F/tr anymore due to some injury's and surgery's. So i am jumping feet first in to bench rest. I like not crawling on the ground. Bought a Savage model 12 F class rifle, like the butt stock better than the br model. It is chambered in 6.5x.284 norma, get to learn a new caliber all over again. Probably get a Weaver t 36 to get me through the year, love to have a Night force but this was a last minute deal. Funding is tight and starting with a complete new rig, reloading equipment and component's kinda puts the Night Force out of reach, but i will upgrade next winter. Have a .300 win mag also, will change stock on it and maybe use it also. I am a mechanic by trade, and love shooting and drag racing. I am not a big poster but i do a lot of reading, so there is a lil something about me..........Danny 8)

welcome to this site. It's a stop---look--& listen regimen for me, at least. Oh,,,it's addicting like cigarettes,chew,and maybe the hard stuff....You won't be able to stay away from it.

Welcome to the sight Danny and it is the best 1 out their hands down. Shot some benchrest 20 years ago and it was not for me at the time. When i start to have a hard time getting around in the woods and fields i think i will look into it again. We have a bunch of super people here with lots of knowledge and good advice that can help in many ways. Good luck and have fun on your new adventure.
