New Guy in CT

[dauntless_powered]

First off let me say thanks I have been lurking for several days and even posted in the WTT section (prob should have posted here first..sorry guys) I stumbled on the site during a search for magazines. I just picked up a Savage Axis in .308 NIB for next to nothing. Figured I would use this as a "weak" start into something I have been wanting to learn how to do for some time (long rage shooting). I am Active duty USN doing the submarine thing and have been around guns almost my whole life. I just never shot outside the 200-300 yd stuff before and even that is rare. I found this place looking for larger mags for the savage and decided I really enjoy what i have found so here I am. I will post a pic of the new toy if required but lets face it from what i have seen so far it is not really worthy of what you guys are mostly running with. Thanks in advance for all the knowledge I will be gaining here with you all.

Welcome, see you around!

Welcome, always good to see another CT guy. Where are you shooting?

Welcome to the Hide. The nice thing about Savage riles is that you can hit the ground running for only a small investment. You mentioned that you were looking for magazines, are you primarily a gas gun or pistol shooter? Where do you shoot?

Right now I am a member at norwich fish and game. No rifles under 22 there though. I use it mostly for pistol, I am looking for a place for rifle right now, lost the use of some land recently. As far as the savage so far I have a buck into it and thats it.

LCDR and myself are members over at Ledyard Sportsman's. We have 400 yards over there.

I work on the base as well down at the fire department on lower base.

I used to be very active with Ledyard Fire co untill I transferred back to a boat. I am rotating back to shore next month and I am desperate for a place to shoot a rifle. Lats time I asked I was told Ledyard was not accepting new members and that was with me being very active with the fire dept.

They are closed right now but June is the month dues are due and when people will drop out if not paid up so get an application in so you can get on the waiting list.
