You hunt with a .223 on up Mark and have tagged a 'few' critters. Where does a guy draw the line?

I only started hunting last year so bear with me, but have found a 416 Rigby to be entirely adequate for porky's...one time tossed parts in two different directions by 55'....now that was a good day (for me)

Lots of fun stuff around and I have learned a bunch here also. The 270 is an improved 30/06 and that Bozeman is actually in Montana (despite the designer coffee shops, Birkenstocks and bagels)..........grin

Lets just say that I know of a few critters from lopes and deer on up that have been nuked with a 17 Rem. The 25 Horn and the 25 Barnes did there job just fine as long as we did ours.

If I could only get Barnes to do a 32 or so TSX for the .204 I'd be all over that one...grin

I still have some 140PT loaded up that I need to air out Dober before I try anything new. Thanks, I'll let you know they shoot and go from there.
I'm in love with the shortfat and have been shooting the crap out of that thing lately. Haven't cleaned it in 200-300 rounds and it just keeps shooting better. That's a good thing right???grin


No, I haven't seen the house. What part of the valley? Good to hear they're working. We are slower than hell right now...

That is for sure Steely, I recall one double OT game in college where our coach told us that by taking the extreme route we'd either "win big and or loose big"...

It has changed a bunch since the last time I was there ('95) but I'm sure that is the way with many places.

Livingston is still pretty cool

Some of those homes are ridiculously big/nice.

Keeps us working men busy so I sure can't complain.

There's a reason why Livingston has stayed the same.

It's called WIND!


Beautiful setting but [bleep] can it be a windy, miserable sob over there.

Plus Livingston is blessed with a bit of wind from time to time...grin

You should of been in Livingston many moons back when Jimmy Buffet played at the Longbranch.

I used to like going to visit the MRL yard in Livingston; I have always been a train nut in addition to a rifle loonie.

Guess I am doubly hopeless...

Tim!


Didn't they convert an old train depot into a restaurant or something?

You guys ever eat at the Montana Rib & Chop House?
Boze is getting one this year, should be sweet!
