Losses at the Forest Service
I kinda hope the people that support this need some sort of government service (and I'd bet most off of you do in some form, you just don't realize) and don't get what you need. Unfortunately, the irony will be lost and blame misplaced, as usual.- BRI

Montana 2025 Legislative Session
That's rather disappointing that emails are mostly unread. I get it, but still rather disappointing to hear someone takes the time to put thoughts into an email only to have it not read. -
Retirees whatcha living on?..........
$2400/month on ACA or is that keeping employer insurance? Are you paying $28k/year out of pocket in just premiums? That sounds incredibly high to me If so, and maybe I'm over-simplifying and I'm wrong but with my deductible and premium, the max I should be out of pocket would be $23K in a...- BRI

Retirees whatcha living on?..........
As I mentioned earlier, I underestimated the insurance cost by quite a bit (or at least what I think is quite a bit). Retired last year at 55, the wife and I went through healthcare dot gov. When I signed up, I only used our income from the pension and her income. Simply didn't even think...- BRI

Retirees whatcha living on?..........
I just spent my first full year in retirement. The wife and I tracked our spending for the entire year doing what we wanted, spending what we wanted. No mortgage and only debt is a truck purchased last year. We want $100k to live and do what we want. My pension provides half, the other half...- BRI

Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?
Lol, he hardly ever drinks. His mother's kid for sure 😂. At least I can walk from the bar. He's got a good head on his shoulders and looking to get a degree in industrial engineering, so if there's any engineering firms looking for internships..... -
Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?
It's one of the newer buildings near downtown. He looked at three different ones all in the same price range. The rent is $1900, the extra $250 is utility (excluding power/gas) fees and parking fee. I personally don't think he spent a ton of time looking for a cheaper option but at 23, he's... -
Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?
My son just moved into his small 550 square foot studio apartment last week. Rent, not including utilities, is $2100. F$@cking ridiculous. -

243 powder recommendation?
My buddy has a good load with the 87 grain Vmax with IMR4831. I'm currently using RL17 in my load with 100 grain bullets but down to my last 25 rounds and out of powder so will have to find a new load without alliant powder. I've had good loads with RL16 and H4831sc before. Tried H4350 but it...- BRI

280 AI shooters
I've been shooting a 280AI since 2013 when I took my original Remington 700 BDL I got as a high school graduation gift and had it rechambered to a 24" Pacnor barrel. I absolutely love the gun. Reloading has been easy as It has shot nearly every bullet from 131 to 160 grain well with nearly all... -

Binos that work with glasses
Was in the same boat. Wore contacts for near 30 years but around 11 years ago, something happened with my eyes and every pair I tried irritated my eyes. Couldn't stand glasses for every day wear, especially hunting, so in early 2015, had lasik. Still to this day probably the best money I...
