Howdy, everyone. This is my first post. I hail from southeast Louisiana and, like most people down here, love the outdoors. I am a Veteran (Army). I am really looking forward to perusing the various threads in this forum, as I am strongly considering getting a 6.5 grendel rifle (either a bolt or AR but that's subject for another thread). Thanks for having me. John

Welcome to the clan, S4S, from you neighbor on the west! And, thank you for your service! You would not be disappointed with either a bolt gun or an MSR. But the most likely result will be both. Tell us of your goals and e can help you build a grocery list.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. There is just something special about the firearms/hunting community. I am blessed to be able to be part of it.
just_john, speaking of helping to build a grocery list, I have posted in the Grendel AR/Semiauto sub-forum about what I'm looking for in a 6.5 Grendel AR. Rather than restating this, if you are so inclined, please read my post there and thanks for the offer to help (which I do need). BTW I am not interested in building an AR, as I am older than most and just don't want to do this. I just want to get a complete AR15 ready to go (I'm not much fun, I know). BTW I have done projects in the DFW area of Texas. On one such project my hotel was within sight of Cheaper Than Dirt and a Cabelas & Bass Pro were within easy driving distance. I'm sure there were many smaller gun shops in and around that area as well. Gotta love an area like that.

Thank you, bakabone25. I have fond memories of getting the best cracklin around in your area. During the Katrina Cleanup for the EPA (as a Contractor not an employee), I stopped in Breaux Bridge to get some cracklin for one of my Cajun fellow workers. When I surprised him with it, he almost wept.

Most people have no idea of just what they are missing between the cracklins and the smoked boudin. We cajuns certainly do have the best eats.

Howdy from Texas! I used to do some goose hunting down yonder in the lake aurthor area. Lots of good folks around there.
