New guy from upstate NY

Post by pooka » Thu Dec 26, 2019 1:08 pm

Hi everyone, I'm Mark from the capital region of NY. I have just ordered a BB Carbine in .44 m, now I'm chomping at the bit waiting. I have an 8 3/8" Mod 29 as well as a 8 3/8" 629 to accompany it. I have an assortment of ammo to try thru it, to include some 225 gr Leverlutions. After reading up on these Hornady's I don't have high expectations. I'll be interested to see if the 180 gr Rems group ok. I am probably going to put a 1.5-3X scope on it as my old eyes don't pick up the irons as well as they used to.I'll keep you posted. Safe Shootin

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
