New guy on board

[TimMTP]

Howdy folks

I was sitting around one day thinking, "Gee, I don't blow enough money on my shooting sports so let's find another way to fo through it faster..." and here I am.

Just kidding. I've been playing the practical pistol and 3-gun game as my latest shooting craze but I've been wanting a nice accurate rifle to try out the precision stuff. So I picked up a Les Baer Tactical Recon in .308 and stuck a Nightforce 5.5-22*56 NXS Zero Stop on it. Fun (but already aggravating) so far. I can't seem to duplicate the target that came with the rifle. I can't say that I'm surprised, I'm sure Les has way more experience and better equipment than what I have. Now I'm trying to decide on rests and bags and then just put in some trigger time. I've already learned a good bit from the few days I've been lurking here. I'm sure I'll learn lots more.

So, take it easy on the new guy (even though I'm approaching being an old dude). I promise I'll use the search button a lot before I ask any silly questions.

Tim,
Welcome to the forum, the search engine is a handy tool but if you can't find what your looking for or it isn't the exact answer you were looking for then ask away, there are hundreds of threads on things like proper cleaning methods or what bushing do I need or how do I find my seating depth or lands the list go on and on, there may be a thread at the top of the page that says new to 6br need need help please and also a sticky on the same page on 6br's yet someone will still start another thread newbie to 6br please help so don't you be afraid to start a thread because it's been gone over before, just ask away my friend, some may belly ache but most won't. I am looking forward in exchanging ideas with you.
Wayne.
