Hello all! I'm a former Marine, now working in international business and consulting, and have read many posts on this forum over the years but am joining for the first time.
My key interests:
-- I'm in love with the TC Contender modular single-shot rifle, and at some point will post questions following up on the (many, many years ago) discussions on this board of the TC as a "pocket sniper rifle"
-- I really dig suppressors, and will have questions about those eventually
-- Just bought a Ruger 96-22M lever-action rifle in .22 WMR and have cool ideas about making it a "rimfire sniper" or whatever term suits it best
-- I own a 38-55 Sharps replica, so have interest in using that at long range as a "vintage sniper" rifle, ideally doing some silhouette shooting though BPCR seems to be a fading scene
-- Someday I'd like to find a non-collectible MAS-36 rifle and make a replica French sniper, though no hurry there
-- At some point down the line I plan to build a modern compact (either folding or takedown) 6.5mm Precision Rifle, something trimmer then the Ruger and more transportable, but that's further down the road
In short, I like a lot of weird niche things, but do intend to have a more conventional PR build someday. I have standard USMC rifle training and was decent at that but no master, and was a RSO and intro instructor for an on-campus shooting club when in grad-school, but I claim no amazing skills at long-range shooting but am eager to learn more. If anyone shares my interest in the odd niche items I mention above, by all means post here or drop me a line!
