I purchased a new Encore Pro Hunter 223 with heavy barrel in November,had a 4 X 12 X 40 Bushnell 3200 Scope installed and a trigger job by E. A Brown.
I was finally able to make it to the range yesterday for the first time, it was a joy to shoot, but if I could give a little background without boring you to much.
40 Years ago I shot Bullseye Pistol, I certainly wasn't the best but I managed to move up in classifications and win a few awards. Work took more and more time so I eventually sold my guns as well as all my reloading equipment. I recently retired and decided to try shooting again, with eye sight thats not as good as it once was I thought I might try a rifle. I was interested in the Encore because of the ability to switch barrels.
It was humbling to realize at the range that no matter how nice your equipment is that if you haven't shot a weapon in 22 years YOU SUCK as a shooter, this is going to be a long voyage.

I know what you mean about the break in the weather, Missouri is not as cold as CT but its still cold.
Just got back last week from spending two weeks in Houston, TX with my sister, my wife complained the whole time about the cloudy skies. Yesterday we got 11" of snow and its suppose to go down to -10 degrees tonite, I could use somemore of those gray TX skies about now.
