I retired at 54. I made a career change at age 34. I had two kids, wife worked part time and I had a mortgage when I did.
Money is relevant to a point. $100k, 200k, 400k, it's never enough.
Money should not drive your decision. Quality of life for you and your family should. Ya money...
Seeing if anyone is reloading 308 with this powder. I played around with reloading the 308 a couple years ago and then all the silliness hit. Well, I'm back at load development and am looking for a bit of guidance. My gun was very happy at 41.5grains with a 168 grain bullet. Looking at the...
Interesting question. I'm in the process of trying to figure this out with my new AR15. Is it me, the ammo or the scope? Shooting 200 yards. Rifle is on bench and bags. Using wolf steel case rounds. I just bought a box of hornady match. If I'm still spraying then I have scope issues. If...
We had a 2007 maroon standard transmission FJ. We loved that thing. We traded it in for 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, also a standard, because we got offered stupid money for the FJ. My only complaint of the FJ was it was so small on the inside. As small as the Taco is, my ability to load...
56 years old. 6 feet tall. 170 pounds. Would like to get into the high 160s. I'm close. Had hunting season lasted another month I may have gotten there. I dumped weight hiking all over the place and lugging meat on my back.
Don't laugh, the last few are way harder than the first fifty. 😎
Trying new things with game is the only way to figure things out. I am amazed how little I grind up these days. I actually have to force myself to grind up enough meat. Good on you for giving it a shot. Pete
I believe some of you have purchased things like optics from Japanese sellers. I'm looking into the nikon ed50 with a 27x lens. It can be had for around $450. But I raley use ebay, nevermind buying from overseas. All the listings mention possible additional taxes, brokerage fees etc. Does...
Brine it for five days. Look up a brine for corned beef. The if you want, you put on a rub of caroway, black pepper, and garlic and into the smoker at a low heat. Smoke until interval temp hits 150. Boom... you have moose pastrami!
From a friend of mine that is a hunting guide. I asked him what round he would recommend for my wife, 243, 6.5 7MM-08 or something else. Goal is one gun for it all. His words; "I hate to jump on the 6.5 band wagon, but it is just a great round. Easy recoil, plenty of power and plenty of...
What little I know about photography, go mirrorless. Your phones are mirrorless and look what they can do. Now imagine a legit mirrorless camera. And also think resale. You won't be able to give a dslr away for free in about a year.
I haven't reloaded in three years because of this nonsense. It will loosen up one day. Then I will drop about ten grand on the essentials. In not dealing with this again.
Uggh... you guys had revive this thread.
I keep thinking about the 553. Now I am also considering the 663. I have the 883. Absolutely blown away by that thing. But I keep wondering if I could cut some serious weight with a good compact, a lighter tripod and head. Or just suck it up and lug...
