Hi, just looking around on the net and found this Forum, read some posts and now hanging my hat here for awhile, hope I'm welcome here, love to hunt and shoot........Just bought me a 270WSM(Tikka 3 stainleess/Left handed) Had a 270 Interarms Mark X for 30year, killed a lot of Deers with it but one of the guys I hunt with bought a A-bolt 270WSM and I got to shoot it and now I've got the Tikka 3......All I can say about the WSM is WOW! Only two things wrong with the WSM is the price of bullets and it kills on both ends.....lol
Cheers

I am new here as well. I had my offer already to pull up a stump and drink a few beers with all of you.

Welcome to you both. Hope you feel at home and enjoy yourselves. Unless you are very new to hunting or shooting I am sure there will be threads where you can help out just fine.

Atrox, what is the name of the little Mexican Restaurant in Tuscon that is painted bright yellow, has bars on the windows and has an elevated door in the front with a couple of steps up to get into? Great Baha style seafood there and cold beer. Stays full of people about 90% of the time.
Best,
Ed

Man, I'm thinking quick this morning. It must be my strong coffee.

You are now christened OX and 270.

How about that, you won't even have to go to the Courthouse to have it legally changed.

Welcome again----OX and 270. Party

Too many bumps on the head over the years Bushy. Sad

I kind of have to be careful with nicknames. If you remember, one of them kind of backfired on me a while back. wtf

Thanks guys...........yep been shooting a right hander for 30 plus years, I've been told by those who hunt with me "Are you shooting an auto?" I just smile and say If they would just stand still I wouldn't have to shoot so many times...lol It's going to be something to get used to(left hand bolt), I hope I learn before my shoulder falls off...........?!
ps. thanks for stump and beer, I think I'll have another one please and thank you!
