Hey all,

I've been signed up for a while, but never posted until now. I've been shooting for less than a year. I mainly shoot between Bridgeport Range or High Rock in Naugatuck. I'm sure i've been there while a few of you were there. I thought I would post a few photos of my small collection.

I've always been interested in lever action rifles and other "cowboy" guns so I had to pick one up myself. It is a Marlin 336 in 30-30. Fun to shoot, worst kick out of all my guns, but I love it.

My first black rifle: Stag Arms 2TL - being lefty I figured i'd rock a lefty AR. Really enjoy shooting this as well. Tossed on an EOtech 512 too. I'm currently running PMags with the window in them.

Here is my newest rifle: Springfield Armory M1A Socom II - I love this thing! Totally managable, packs a punch, and something you don't see at the range often. Pricey, but I think it was worth it. I've only gotten to the range once with it and put 100 rounds through it without any issue. Fun fun fun!

Eventually, I hope to add a bolt action rifle and a 12 gauge shotgun to the mix.

Enjoy!

That's the way to make an enterence James

I'd love an M1A someday to go with my M1 Carbine....of course, a nice AR and lever action wouldn't be too bad either
