Howdy from Virginia
Old timer from Virginia. Picked up a steel .357 BB this week. Will give it a run tomorrow. Nice looking rifle. Definitely a keeper. Looking forward to future conversations.
Re: Howdy from Virginia
Welcome to the forum, you’ll love that BB.

Hey Beasley. Welcome from Nebraska. Great choice of rifle! Enjoy your experience.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: Howdy from Virginia
Welcome to the forum family from a former central Virginian. Moved to Oklahoma shortly after I retired. Still have two kids in VA, but the one in OK became ill and mom wanted to get closer, and the son is in TX. It was time.
Jump in, post, ask questions, share anecdotes, post pics. It's a family, so there might be some good natured fun made, but nothing to worry over... We don't do that here.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Re: Howdy from Virginia
When we got the hankering for saline, we used to kayak fish the lightline under HRBT, as well as Rudee Inlet and a few other choice locations. My father in law had a place in Mathews and we'd also fish Gwens Island and Kiptopeake now and then.beasley2611 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 10:13 pmThanks!

Mostly we'd fish the James River up our way for Smallies, or ponds and lakes for big largemouth...

Welcome from across the country here in Eastern Washington State. As stated, many of us shoot the Big Boy in 357 and it’s wonderful.
