    Best towns to live/retire in Montana?

    I grew up and graduated from Opheim! Go back every year for deer hunting. When I retired from the Aif Force in 2018 we moved to Helena. Its nice, was nicer. I want to go back to Opheim! Hahah Hardly anywhere in the state can you advoid the wind, and if you can, the cost of living will be double...

    Name my son for me.

    So when my wife and I found out in 2006 we were having a boy we wanted to have a solid name at birth. We came up with a decent way to name him. My middle name is Robert, my wifes maden name was Allen. My stepdads middle name is Allen also and goes by that. So we choose the middle name firat...

    Recommendations for a new varmint rifle

    I have a Savage 12FV in 22-250 and love it. Shoots 53g V-max great. Also a 224 Valkyrie in an AR and it loves 77g TMK Sierras. Between the two I usually grab the Valkyrie just because follow up are a bit easier if off the cuff type shooting. Temped to build another AR in either 204 or 6mm creed.

    Gas mileage 3/4 ton gas burners

    Most of the 2010-2018 era 2500’s will all be around 7-10 towing, 12-16 highway. The newer ones should in theroy net 2-3 more mpg. And on half tons towing skidsteers…

    Reasonable glassing distance with 10x42s

    This was with diamond back 10x42’s. Could I tell there was a raghorn or bigger in there, no. I could tell there was legal elk for the unit. No one ever tells you 2.5 miles as a crow flys turns into an 11 mile hike! Hahah

    Paying a moving company worth it?

    In all my moves the government paid for it. I did opt to move myself once but it was failry simple since we sold a house and moved to onbase houseing. Knowing we would move to a new duty location soon we left 80% of our stuff packed. Since retiring Ive moved once on my own, during winter in MT...

    Ideas on Point Collecting/Point Creep

    I am sure my boat is this eace is very empty. I buy OTC stuff here in Montana. I get my archery lope tag and usually put in for moose, lope doe, deer b and apply for 380 elk. Out of state isnt in the cards for me, just dont feel it. Personally Id love to see a system that would allow the point...

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    Also try to avoid it if needed. Living in Helena makes that easy but at times we do have to go to either Bozeangles or Missoula. Usually try to make a plan to get in and out!

    reasonably priced gun case that is over 54" long for my suppressed 300 RUM ?

    Longer cases like that will tend to be more expensive. Harbor Freight has a online coupon right now till the end of the first week of January for a long double hard side case, like a pelican. Is taking the can off not an option?

    Vehicle purchase ( possible eco diesel)

    Id look toward a Rav4 or 4Runner. If you want a pickup and mpg. Maybe the smaller 4 cylinders offered by GM and Ford. Grand Cherokee should net in the 20’s for mpg. Issue with all the new vehicles with good mileage is once you add heavy tires to replace the 1/2 ply stockers you will loose some...

    Athlon Scopes

    Ive got a couple Argos BTR’s on some budget savage rifles and dollar for dollar those combos shoot great! Also have an Ares BTR gen 2 I think on my newest rifle. Have a pair of their binos, 10x42 and the 10x50 Midas G2. So far I love them over any Vortex item built in the lst 6-7 years. I try to...

    School Me On Ice Fishing Gear

    Basic: hand auger, scoop and poles. Advanced: sky’s the limit! You can literally go overboard quick. Between all the different types of safety gear alone one can spend 1000’s. Ice fishing specific jigs, poles, line, all can come into play. As for augers, oh man another rabbit hole! You can...

    where do you draw the line...

    For me at work it isnt the people that think they know everything. Its the ones that get paid to do a job and they dont do the job. I come in and work from open to close and if i’m sitting idle, I find something to do. Where as others have no problem being on the clock and their phone. Those are...

    A Great Montana Steakhouse

    One thing I’ve come to love about Montana bars, most have a damn good burger! Or maybe its the fact I’m tired, hungry or had a few too many longnecks that make them great!
