New here. Discovered RENE about six months ago.
Primarily a .22LR guy. Bought my first KMK-678 around 1986. Hoping to see my 15th Mark II via Gunbroker (my 4th MK-678G Government) arrive tomorrow. Like Mark IV’s as well (three lowers plus several factory & Volquartsen uppers). Like longer range rimfire pistol shooting with scopes & dots at small things that move when struck. Like 10/22’s as well, plus one Charger. Very fond of suppressed Rugers.
Look forward to getting to know more people around here.

Welcome from central PA. We get down to western NC once a year (at least) for the Ruger East Coast Gathering (it's at forum member Contenders' place outside of Lake Lure) hope to meet up with you next fall or at a ROCS show.

That would be great. I was not aware of this gathering. I see it’s only a couple of hours away, which wouldn’t be bad at all.

Welcome neighbor!!!!!
Boone isn't too far away from me here in Lake Lure.
And by all means,, you are invited to my "Gathering" next year.
Heck,, you should plan a trip to the OGCA/ROCS show we do in Ohio in August as well!
