Guess I should post an official introduction

Post by tattoo13 »

I have been reading a lot and posting here and there, figured someone might be wondering who I am.
I am originally from outside of Chicago, and relocated my family to the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas.
I have been shooting for 25 years, since I got a 10/22 for my 10th birthday.
I can't think of a firearm I don't like, but my biggest sweet spot is for lever rifles and single action hoglegs.
Right now I have two leverguns, my 336 that I have had worked over and a Henry H001.
The 336 is a 75 model .30-30 barrel after shooting it for years I decided I wanted to change it up. I had the magazine cut down, XS Scout rail, and Swift scope. I still haven't decided what rear sight to use and I would like to get a quick detach scope mount for it.
I just bought the Henry recently it was a little beat up and the paint was flaking off the receiver.
Stripped it refinished the wood and the receiver was stripped and after scuffing it, I felt it looked too nice to repaint.

Anyhow this sight has become one of my favorites and I really enjoy all the great info.

Looking at your 'scout' rifle setup, you might like this post, if you've not seen it...

The 'light' is optional, but I've found it essential for 'farm' use...

I read that whole post AJMD, my next rifle is going to be a .357 levergun.
I live out of town and I really think a .357 Carbine is a good over the door gun, right now a 12 ga sits in that role.
My Birthday is in March and I am hoping to treat myself to a rossi 92.
