New member from Norfolk, Virginia

I'm Chris from Norfolk, Va. I'm a Navy veteran and currently a civilian Navy contractor. I am new to forums and new to this site. I grew up bird hunting and am fairly new to rifles. I've only owned rifles for about 5 years now. I started shooting rifles with my wifes SKS, then moved to a bolt action .270 and was hooked. I currently own a Savage 11VT (Dick's Sporting Goods Special). It's chambered in .308 with a 24" heavy barrel with a 1:10 RH twist. It's fitted with a Bell and Carlson stock, Caldwell bipod, Leupold ring/mounts and a 6-24 Bushnell optic. It's a blast to shoot. Extremely accurate out of the box. It loves the heavier ammo, so I get the joy of shooting the 168 and 175 SMK's. I currently reload for this application as well. I also own a .45 cal black powder, bolt action .22, pump action .22 and a .45 cal Springfield XD.

Welcome and thanks for your service.

Welcome aboard

Welcome Buddy Lee aka Boudrouex. Figured you'd hit this place up eventually just like me.
