New member old shooter

[jpgrifles]

Hello all.
New member here from Bakersfield California, my favorite air rifle of all time is the daisy Red Ryder I usually keep one in my shop to give to kids with parental approval, after trying out PCP rifles, I've gone back to my Beeman R9 springer for varmints.
I am also a long-range benchrest shooter and Custom Gunsmith building Target and hunting rifles.
I typically shoot ground squirrels once a week out on Ranch lands in the foothills east of Bakersfield using centerfire, rimfire and my Beeman.
Ya'll have good evening.

Lots of great ground squirrel shooting in Kern County and a big need for it. I will be there over Labor Day for my annual hunt trip at private ranch in Tejon. You might have to look at getting into PCP's like a Benjman Cayden great little rifle to reach out a little further than you R9. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome! I'm also a Gunsmith, now retired. Are you self taught or did you go to school? I graduated from C.S.T. back in the late 80's. I'm a fan of the Red Ryder as well. Recently picked up the adult sized version and set it up with a 4x RWS compact. Fun shooter.

Welcome aboard.
Also in California but at the other end of the state.
Once folks here find out you are a gunsmith you will probably have all the work you could want.
