Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - First Firearm Thread.

Note to self:
Next craze, when you backorder stuff with no financial worries as not charged until they ship, remember that eventually, they WILL ship.
Getting slammed with crap I ordered months ago and forgot about it.

If any of that crap happens to be 'extra' 223 ammo, I've got a buddy looking for some :D

Thanks for the info Brian. From all the research I've done the last few days, people say to bypass the low end o/u and spend the little extra on a Browning Citori. Right now I don't have the minimum $1500+ to spend on one of those. And because I'd like to use it for more than just a target gun, I'm leaning towards a Weatherby or Mossberg semiauto.

And yes, it looks like it can get expensive. Like I don't have too many hobbies already draining my pocket book. :D

Was talking to a couple of friends today that have done some sporting clays shooting. Both of them prefer an autoloader--specifically the Beretta--with screw in chokes. Although barrel length preference is sort of an individual thing, 28" or 30" seems to be the most popular choices among that crowd, at least with the semi-autos.

DSG is great.
They sent me a heads up email that they may have shipped me wrong mags.
Sure enough, two were wrong ones that don't lock in my AR10.
New ones on the way with a return shipping label.

I like the GTO's, I wanted one of their gator lowers but they didn't ship to Cali at the time or they ran out, I can't remember.

Took my daughter shooting for the first time a few days ago. She started out on the Ruger 10/22 and also shot the S&W M&P 15-22 I got for her a few days ago. She had a blast and can't wait to go again!
