WELCOME from Alaska.
 
I'm way down yonder here in New Orleans.
Yaaa! Another member from cajunland! :huggs:
I'm just a little below Lafayette.
Welcome to the forum. Click on 'New Posts' and see how many from just today that you have to choose from to read.
It's way more than just 4 or 5! :eyeballs:
 
Actually I'm in Jefferson Parish.
Curious about your screen name.
Do you dabble in old calibers that kids under 50 may not know?
I have a 45-70 single shot rifle and a Colt 32-20 revolver.
If I still had disposable income I’d like to add 30-40 Krag and 303 British.

It's more of a reflection of who I am. I've always been somewhat off the beaten path. Did have 8mm Mauser for a long while but my truck needed new struts.
 
I totally understand.
I never fit in anywhere growing up.
Even today the only place I fit in is with other veterans and the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous.
I don’t do well with “regular “ people.

Neither does my wife of 35 years which is why we live on a dead end dirt road six miles outside a one stop light town.

Edited to add: 8MM Mauser is one of my favorites. I have two German and one Turk.
 
Sounds like a fun place on a Saturday night. LOL
So quiet on a Saturday night that all you can hear is the train horn at the grade crossing 2.5 miles away, and my neighbors cows.
 
Bienveneetoes from the spot in AZ where even 'Hell thinks it's Hot'. ;)

"Oddcalibers", hmm.. 🤔 Gonna have to get You and @Hardcalibres out on the panel stage for some "discussions"..

Personally, I'm a fan of the larger cals (ie: 300WM, 338 LP, 45-70, 50 cal, etc) I figure 'Get 'er Dun'.. ;) OTOH, Higher Velocity certainly makes strong counterarguments in the real world (ie: 6.5 CM - LOVE IT! :cool: Currently trying to argue with this pesky little devil on my Left shoulder who keeps poking me to get into an Awesome AR cham'bd in 450 BM, but.. It's always good to 'question the wisdom of yet Another, non-redundant niche caliber', but.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We'll see what happens..

Anyhoo, Welcome, and we'll Cya out there.. 👊
