New Truck MSRP discounts right now??
A couple years prior to buying my truck, my wife and I were just browsing no real intent to buy. She found a vehicle thst was priced in the upper range but not being that interested, we left. They called us a few days later with a lower price. My wife asked if that was their lowest price...- BRI

New Truck MSRP discounts right now??
I despise the entire vehicle buying process. Would rather sit in the dentist chair. My last vehicle purchase was just shy of 2 years ago at DS. Traded in a 2016 ram 1500 with 93k in great shape. They would only give low book. The vehicle I was buying was listed for top dollar. They wouldn't...- BRI

.243 load recommendations
Currently redeveloping a load for my savage axis 2 with 1 in 9.25 twist. Current load is with100 grain hornady BTSP with 39.7 grains RL17 but out of powder and only 19 rounds left. I've done ladder test with N150, RL16, IMR4350, RL23, H4831sc. Interesting thing I'm seeing with this gun is the...- BRI

What are you currently reloading?
Currently load for: 243, 6.5 prc, 270, 7mm-08, 280AI, 308, 300WM, 300prc. Had been mostly using Alliant powders in most guns but now starting to redevelop loads with other powders since alliant powders are nearly non-existent for the foreseeable future. Damn, stuff has gotten expensive!- BRI

interesting shot from a "hunting celebrity"
I wonder if Lee actually thinks he's even a reason the majority of males watch the show?- BRI

Frontal shot on elk
Incredibly lethal if you make the shot, likely a wounded lost elk If you don't. I tried once 13 years ago didn't make the shot. Thankfully have resisted the urge to try it again. Back when I would visit the Bowsite, after reading several shot placement threads, I realized there is a person... -
Boot question
Same insole as previous? I could see a different insole changing the fit but same as previous should be pretty close to same fit. Odd. I guess the boots could have simply worn down enough to change the fit. As Hank mentioned, perhaps a different sock combination. I personally like leukotape...- BRI

Boot question
Could it be the insole has broken down on the pressure points? Might be worth it to try a new insole. Just a thought.- BRI

25-06 w/ 107 HBCs
Beautiful gun! I've always wanted a 25-06. Had an older Rem700 that I was going to re-barrel to a 25-06 but got talked into making it a 280AI. Zero regrets but man I still look at the 25-06 a lot. I purchased an athlon chrono about a month ago. About 300 rounds through it now, I like it a...- BRI

RIP Charlie Kirk
A terrible sad tragedy. As I reflect on the events that unfolded, 24 years ago today, and unified (at least IMO) the country for a brief period. I wonder how the divided sides would react today under that scenario. I think I know and it makes me sad to think that.- BRI

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.
