Greetings, I am Mandalore of the clan Brad Pitt. If you don't understand the Brad Pitt thing, come to Oklahoma D-Day in June and ask for Brad Pitt. You'll either be pointed our direction, or you'll get an icy stare.
But really, the name's Mandalore, at least as far as you're concerned, and the game is paintball. I'm also a computer nerd, a Jeeper, concealed carrier (Kimber Gold Match II), and a student of krav maga. I enjoy pistol calibers that start with .4, spending time with my wife, fast cars, and long walks on the simulated beaches of paintball Normandy. I do play some video games, but I much prefer to be outdoors. Shooting, paintballing, running, hiking, whatever I can do. I'm lucky enough to have a beautiful wife who also enjoys the splendor of the outdoors, paintball, driving and shooting. She carries a Kahr CW9 right now, soon to be replaced, which brings me to...
The reason I'm here. I made a deal with my wife that I wouldn't get a rifle until we got her a new 1911. Well, we're well on the way to getting her that 1911 and I'm starting to look at rifles. Eventually I see myself having probably two rifles. I'd like to get a Springfield M1A, probably a Scout Squad or SOCOM 16, with a 2x or 4x red dot. Home defense, short to medium range work, maybe hunting. I'd also like to build a long-range rifle, which is where I hope to tap your expertise.
I want a bolt-action rifle in something like .308 or .300 win mag. I know for target shooting some of the smaller calibers fly faster and flatter, but I like the thought of having more mass and retained energy in case there's something besides paper at the other end. I'll be posting a thread later on all this, but for now, here I am!
