Hello all,
I am a general newbie to the world of firearms and shooting. Having grown up playing baseball year-round and in an area that was not exactly gun-friendly it was just not something I was exposed to early on. However, I was introduced to firearms a few years ago by a relatively new friend of mine and my interest started to grow and since relocating with my wife to Montana and taking over my late father-in-law's property my interest has grown even more given the collection of firearms I have inherited. Among that collection, relative to this forum, are a Remington 597 and a New Haven Mossberg 250C...both of which I have already become comfortable with and relatively accurate with; more so with the 597 given the relatively decent stock scope it came with and still has mounted. For now, I use these rifles for hunting ground squirrels on the property and am working to figure out the best quality ammo for the job for each rifle. In the meantime I look forward to learning as much as I can about these two rifles, as well as the other firearms in the collection.
