    Default Greetings from Massachusetts

    Hello everyone,

    I've been visiting this wonderfully informative site for a little while and finally decided to register. I've owned a Ruger Mini 6.8 since the spring of 2010 and have been very pleased with both the rifle and the cartridge.

    Welcome to yaz. Visited Pittsfield once, many moons ago... drove across State to Boston to have lunch at the Bull and Finch Pup. Even climbed to the top of Mt. Greylock. Some purdy country.

    Welcome to the forum! You joining makes 2 1/2 of us! ((I think there's another member that's split between FL and MA.))
    Feel free to post some photos as we don't see too many Mini's around here.

    Welcome and I'd like to see a pic of the mini as well.
    Okay, I'll shut up. Some fellas have to keep their tongues flappin' but not me. I was brought up right. My pa used to tell me to shut up and I'd shut up. I wouldn't say nothin'. One time darn near starved to death. WOULDN'T TELL HIM I WAS HUNGRY!!

    Thanks guys,

    Ratdog68, I don't think I'd call Pittsfield purdy haha, but the Berkshires certainly are.

    jdudkiewicz, I'm in Hampshire County, I'm looking forward to next hunting season for sure. I saw a beautiful 8-point last season in a Williamsburg swamp but wasn't able to get a shot on him. Maybe he'll show up again this fall!

    I'll try to get a picture of my Mini up tonight on the Firearm Photos thread.

    Well... that's more or less what I was implying... driving across the state I saw some purdy country.

    Got it. I read your first post too hastily.
