Howdy all,
My name is Ken. Brogden, I don’t know why, but it is!
I used to be a member of the other forum and welcome the arrival of this one.
Looking forward to learning some more.
Thanks for having me.

We were actually old reprobates from the old varminthunters "green board".

I wonder if Rick from Oregon (RIO) is still shooting?
If he is he’s probably on some other American boards but I’m not on any others so don’t know.

Lynn Rider here. I have been shooting the 17 AH for 20 years. Dabbled with the 17 Remington Fireball for a while. Also shoot the 20 VT, 204,17 VR and the 17 HMR. Hale from SE Colorado- outside the little town of Campo. Have lived in Pueblo and Pueblo West since 1979 but return to the farm to hunt deer and shoot prairie dogs and coyotes.
I hope this forum is as informative as Saubier was.

Hi Lynn,

Cheers, Ken.

George emailed me, too. Hello to all the old timers.

 

[Rider]

I will stop by and see him today. Maybe I can help him get set up.

Hi Kiwi,
It was George that alerted me to the forum.
He does follow more than one board and has at least one 17 Wildcat.
Cheers, Ken.

Signed up several days ago. Kept getting: "confirm your email" must have been 7 or ten times.
I gave up. Still have not rec'd the welcome message from the admin as was told about.
Seems there's some glitches in the setup.

Anyway, it's great to see this new forum, hope it can stay as many of us really enjoyed Saubier site
for over 20 years. Even better is seeing so many of the members from there.

Was out with one dog (Belle) at 05.00 and it’s persisting down, windy and cold, so I won’t be going out again today.

 

[MarinePMI]

I'm Ian from Dunedin, New Zealand. I was a member of the old Saubier site and used the same user name as I'm using here.
A buddy in Indiana got me interested in small calibers and Cooper rifles and I've also got a big interest in single shot rifles.
I also have a cartridge collection that started as a small caliber collection and still needs a lot of small caliber and wildcats additions

We lack the prairie dogs, gophers, rock chucks, coyotes, etc that you have in the USA but we do have a good number of rabbits and a few hares, they just don't do acrobatics like prairie dogs do when you hit them in the right place.

It's good to see you and other old members of Saubier's here.

Oh man, you're dating yourself (and others of us as well).

I haven't thought of the GGVG board in years.

Is MontDoug still around? I know he was getting on in years, and after Saubier's went down, I lost track of everyone except the couple of UK/Oz/NZ guys that are on TSD.

 

[Bo Diddley]

Hi, I'm an English shooter and fisherman.
Mostly shoot varmints at night with thermal & NV. I shoot a few deer every year, but not huge quantities, maybe 20-30.
My favourite small rifle is an Annie in .22 Hornet, made in 1986.
I enjoy reloading as well.

Rick is over on 6mmbr.com or accurate shooter.com, he posts regularly.
