Been here about 15+ years, originally from Florida and have way too many hobbies. LoL. 

Currently, i've been trying to shoot really accurate shots with bolt action .22s due to the price and the fact they aren't as loud as everything else. I bought a marlin 880sq from a pawn shop prob. 10 years ago because I was shooting really quiet aquila super colibri ammo in the back yard and it won't cycle in semi auto's. The marlin is bolt, after running some elley tennex through it and realising just how accurate it was , put a decen scope on it and bought a boyds custom stock. I really like this rifle and would like to find another.

Greetings to our new member-neighbor "down yonder!"  I like pawn shops, too.  They're the Walmart of the "new-to-me" connoisseur.

I don't typically shop at pawn shops, this was before christmas and I was picking a t.v (seen the deal on facebook) up for my parents as a christmas gift, happen to see that bolt action bull barrel .22 and figured i'd buy it.

I raised my boys on Aguila Colibri rounds in the backyard out of lever, bolt, and single action action 22's! When they were 6 years old we started cowboy action stages on soda cans and bottles. They'd run to staged tables with the guns waiting, shoot a few targets, make the gun safe and run to the next. Great platforms whether you're shooting for time, shooting for groups, shooting for fun, or shooting small game.

Welcome!
