I've referenced snipershide periodically over time and decided to join the forum. I'm still learning my way around the site and trying to stay out of trouble, post a question and read or reply to threads that interest me. I'm retired and returned to shooting about 18 months ago with a new interest in ELR -- particularly rimfire out to 355 yards. The rimfire ELR turned out to be a great and more cost effective learning tool for the centerfire, but it can be as expensive as centerfire if you choose to go that route.
