Like the Boy Scout slogan says: Do a good deed daily.

And a good deed you sir, have done. 

Congratulations on bringing an old shooter into the new gun owner group. I've done it, and its a good feeling.

And, FMJ, for the record, its "Do a good turn daily." Sorry for being nitpicky, but as an Eagle Scout, it caught my eye and I just had to correct it.

 I L*O*V*E* 22 guns!!!!  I keep no less than 20,000 rounds on hand of rimfire ammo to feed my 14+ rimfire guns.  Hell, my selection of rimfire ammo rivals most gun stores!  I should be welcoming another addition to the rimfire collection by the end of the week...a BRNO 611a .22 Magnum semi auto rifle.  I got it to replace a H&K 300 that I wasn't all too happy with.  The H&K is a beauty/piece of art, BUT the design as far as disassembly is asinine.  There is a release latch for the trigger assembly right behind the trigger guard, so when the gun is held by the wrist, it is very easy to accidentily pop out the trigger group.  What was the original topic for the thread?  Oh...good on you bud!!!  You can NEVER go wrong with a rimfire gun!!!
