[Weezerj]

Hello all,

My name is Jess and I live in Washougal. Not a native PNW'er, moved here from Montana about 20 years ago.

Mostly into varmint hunting and target shooting. Salmon fishing and dirt bike riding also help keep me in the poor house.

My favorite guns:
Franklin AR in .17 WSM (love this gun and the caliber)
Ruger #1 in 22-250 (I'm a lefty)
S&W model 57 .41 mag 6"
Rock island FS HC 10mm 16 rd (new and on its way)

Anyway, I'm new and looking forward to distracting myself from work by reading your posts.....

Owning a Smith and Wesson, Model 57 and a Ruger #1, in .22-250, does show a certain amount of Class which really isn't required to hangout here! So, Welcome. KKG

Howdy Jess and welcome aboard. I've been through Washougal a few times; there is some nice country in those parts.

Very nice on the Model 57. I'm not familiar with the .17 WSM, but having just Googled it, I'm now curious. What do you use your rifle in said for?

Sage rats, rock chucks, coyotes....its a great round. Very flat shooting and really does a number on varmints. My son has a ruger 77/17WSM as well.

Sounds good. I used to hunt varmints and, when the schedule finally settles down, I shall resume said in the form of coyote hunting. The only .17 I have any experience with is the .17 Remington. The project gun for said resumption that I've been working on is a .223 Remington. However, I am intrigued about the .17 WSM now. Thanks for the info.

I also have a Ruger 1V in 22-250. Came with a Zeiss 10x scope. It prints 1/4" groups at 100yards with factory Remington ammo.

S&W model 57 .41 mag 6"

Welcome from Central Oregon!
Is the 57 your only Smith or just your favorite? (and a good favorite to have!)

Hi

 

[Weezerj]

Waiting for background check on the 10mm, will post pics when I get it.

The model 57 is my only Smith currently. I had a model 629 44 mag, but gave it to my son.

The 17 wsm is an amazing round. If you shoot one, you will buy one.

Hi Jess!

Geeze, Montana to Washington!
Hope the culture shock, lack of sun, and politicks don't give you the rickets.
This will be a nice place to keep your head straight when you feel you are loosing it.
