Gday, decided to sign up after lurking for a while.
I’m in QLD, joined the SSAA and Shooters Union (lifetime) and will be joining my local pistol club next month to start on my Cat H.
Just recently got my A/B licence although I grew up with lots of guns in the house, most of them old ones like flintlocks and whatnot but a few rifles and shotguns too.
Shot a bit on property, some rabbit hunting and a pistol comp when younger but nothing for years.
My most recent birthday reminded me time is short and if I don’t start doing what I want, well…you guys get it.

My first purchases were a .22lr (Savage A22R) and a 12g (Adler B220).
Liking the Savage so far, just had the the trigger lightened (unfortunately couldn’t lighten the lever release) and will test the new trigger at the range tomorrow.
Cheers

Welcome aboard mate.

Wombat · October 26, 2020, 10:11am

Welcome aboard, a few of us have A22R’s. Juststarting has his trigger better than mine but still heavy.

juststarting · October 26, 2020, 10:12am

Welcome!

juststarting · October 26, 2020, 10:12am

…and Adlers

Wombat · October 26, 2020, 10:15am

If you haven’t found out yet waxy ammo like SK rifle match will gum up the A22’s magazine leading to failure to feeds.

MangoBombs · October 26, 2020, 11:32am

Cheers fellas
The Savages seem pretty popular, and they’re a cool kind of interesting action. Glad I got mine for $435 though as at $700 or so at full price I probably would’ve gone for a bit more “upmarket” second-hand 22.

And the Adler, well I reckon I might sell it and get another more “serious” .22 if/when I feel like competing, or a centrefire for hunting (got my NSW R hunting permit recently). Can’t find a range to shoot the Adler at yet, moved away from the country and visiting properties is a once in a blue moon only thing now.

Oh yeah, the semiauto Crosman 1077 air rifle for $195 in a closish shop sounds like lots of fun too. Gonna put in a PTA very soon.

Edit: Thanks for the tip wombat, I’ll keep that in mind. It seems happy with the CCI SV which suits me fine, nice and cheap.
