Hi, my name is Ron and I live in Florida. I have been hunting since the 1970s. I mainly hunt whitetail deer, but also enjoy small game hunting and the occasional turkey hunt. I prefer wood-stocked/blued rifles of various actions. I also tend to go for the offbeat calibers for a particular action type, such as .284 Winchester for the Winchester Model 100 or .356 Winchester for a lever action. Right now, I mainly use a Ruger 1A in 7x57mm Mauser and recently acquired a Steyr-Mannlicher Luxus (not the interchangeable caliber model) in 30-06 Springfield. I chose 30-06 due to it being a readily available/relatively inexpensive round as a box of 7x57 can cost more than some magnum cartridges! I came upon this site while I was searching for a magazine for my Steyr rifle (which seems to have turned into a daunting task even for the internet). It seems like an interesting site and look forward to reading the different experiences on the forums!
