Yet another new shooter

[AgelessAnarchy]

Well I'm not exactly a new shooter... Iv been into pistol shooting for years. I hunt with them and sling led at the range. Actually only own one long gun a "Rem 870, shotgun" great little gun. What brings me here is a project gun I'm working on. Iv had an AR15 Stripped lower in my safe for almost a year. While deciding how I wanted to build it I found the local FPR compatitons and have decided to make something to compete. I'm a few moths out from having anything resembling a functional rifle. Lol just have a bunch of bags of parts right now and I still need to select some AR furniture.

Currently its a varment build. 20" SS with a 1/8 twist and plan on rocking the 69g MatchKing hand loads. I still need to decide on a few things like optics though.

So fare this place seams like a great forum, I look forward to geting to know other local shooters/gun addicts >.<

Thanks for the warm welcome! I plan on being at the next match on the 13th. To cookoff, I handgun hunt deer with a classic S&W686 (357Mag) using iron sights. It's tree stand hunting at a corn feeder and clover plot in AR at less than 50 yards so a rifle would just be EZMode. I like at least some resemblance of a challenge. Un like the 300WenMag my dads using from the same distance. The only other thing I really hunt is Hogs also in AR for that I love my S&W500 Mag. Hit a hog with that puppy and it falls right over!

I forgot to add! Nice POP gun!

It's so nice to hear that someone else likes the challenge of hand gun hunting, and with Hogs the bigger bullet the better, I do some hunting north of Shreveport , lots of Hogs have moved in the last 5 years, I also use a Ruger Hunter 44 mag, when I don't feel like luging the 45-70 , BFR around, and I also have a brother in law that uses a 300 win mag to hunt deer with, way too much gun for Louisiana deer,Welcome to the site, there is lots of stuff to read. Enjoy...

Thanks,, I got this little POP gun,45-70, to be able to shoot through brush better, the big bullet does not deflect, I hunt Hogs and deer in very thick woods...and swamps...
