Hi, everyone.
I’m the new guy, as in new to it all.
I’m 63, medical professional from far western Massachusetts.
Maybe 6 months ago I bought a $50 .177 thinking it would be fun. It was and I soon realized it was a toy and there was more out there. Not being my first rabbit hole(premium cigars), I knew the best place to find information and enablers is a forum. After scoping a few out, this was the place to be and have been lurking a few months.
You all are a wealth of information with civility throughout your disciplines.
Never shooting much of anything, and not likely to get deeply involved with the tech or tuning, I decided an HW35 and an Airmax would be a nice start. Looked around all the sites you here use and put them in a shopping cart.
Next thing I know there’s a listing on fleabay for an HW35e and a Vantage, both nib with all paperwork from AoA. He accepted $550 shipped. He had other Weihrauchs and related items. He answered all my questions, sent pics, exchanged phone#, and he had good feedback. I figured I’d rather give the money to a BOTL (brother of the lead) than a company.
I want to shoot with the irons for a while. Picked up a peep from Tech-Sights and have set coming for the stock globe.
Here’s the scope and unmarked rings it came with. Yeah, irons until I learn about scopes.
I’m looking forward to the ride. I have no expectations other than to learn something new and have fun. A new happy place.
You all are great the way you share what was shared with you. I admire and respect everyone’s knowledge and passion for shooting, whatever and however you shoot. Rondo
