David Rios
A Texas Parks & Wildlife Game Biologist, CCW Instructor, Handgun Hunting Instructor, Hunter Safety Instructor, avid hunter with rifle/handgun/black powder, cyclist with thousands of miles on his legs, wealth of knowledge, and amazing friend.

That being said……..he’s an avid Fudd, purist, classic firearms lover, and pain in my ass at times.

I convinced him to join and he said he wouldn’t fit in. I advised him that when I mention thermal here…….i get crickets. Someone posts a classic firearms lover and you guys wet yourselves with joy.
He will fit right in.

He’s signed up and shy. So, give him Hell, Boys.

Classic arms eh? Would he be upset and the thought of a Mauser with a savage barrel, barrel nut, and scout scope?

Welcome, Mr Rios.

Zee has talked about you here and there when it comes to stuff at the ranch. I always figured it was just another one of his imaginary friends… He talks about French models sometimes too.

There may be a group of jackasses that decend upon the ranch in a few months. Just pretend you never saw anything..

Welcome to the forum. I’m sure you’ll fit in just fine.

Welcome from another classic gun enthusiast! Any friend of Zee is…… well… highly suspect

Welcome! We need a few more folks around here. Sako and I are the single shot fan club….

So, you like gladiator movies? I’ve heard Zee starred in a couple in his younger days….

Hi.. I'm David. Zee nvited me to join this support group. I guess he thought it would be good for me, but I don't really think I have a problem. I just happen to dig the old school. Old is gold as they say... Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome.

Already making waves.
Maybe I should reconsider. Ha!

Oh, you have plenty of problems. Just not guns.

David has some I drool over.

On a serious note, I’ve been working with David for years. He’s the Game Biologist for the ranch I run. I’ve learned a lot from him on Game Management, providing habitat and growing good deer.
Absolutely invaluable.

Welcome Mr. Rios from one of the few other classic gun fanboys. I've had the pleasure of visiting the ranch and it's a marvelous place and Zee is good people in spite of some of the people he hangs around with

Old stuff is awesome! Unlike that Godless modern seing through darkness stuff Zedrick shoots….

Welcome, David.

What's your thoughts on AI and Teslas?

Also, do you like gladiator movies?

Welcome aboard! It's good to have a newbie. This is a very friendly place with no need for a moderator. BTW just because it's old school doesn't mean it wasn't a good school. Some of us live in both worlds

What's up with the parachute? That stand isn't that high! If that's a computer monitor in a deer blind...you're banned.

I don't think much about AI and Teslas, but I do have an appreciation for AI cat videos and that little dancing elf guy.
