Deertracker,
Good looking groups!! Good choice in scopes, too.
I was up near you last week. Flew into Great Falls, then went up to Glacier for 3 or 4 days. Saw lots of bear and some goats. Weather was considerably more pleasant than it is here.

Thanks! Hopefully it wasnt smokey up in Glacier for you. Yesterday it was so smokey here that we couldnt see more than 3/4-1 mile.

No, it wasn't smokey. I had my peeps with me and everything was good. I've been out before but they haven't. They were impressed. It rained the last night, but other than that a splendid trip! I am eligible to retire now but may work up to 8 more years to get the full retirement benefit. We'll see. I talked to some kid in Scheel's who started working there 2 weeks ago. Plan is to maybe move to Great Falls after I retire and work at Scheel's or Big Bear part time just to get beer and pizza money and see all the new toys that come out and talk to the hunters and fishermen. Sure is nice out there. Can't wait until I can move out!

DELGUE,
I lived in Great Falls from Dec 2001-Mar 2005. It was by far my favorite assignment. I spent WAT too much money at Scheels and Big Bear along with several other gun shops. I would love to move back after I retire from the AF, but the wife is not having it. Jobs for her career field are few and far between there and low paying compared to other states. I am in AK and while I like it, hunting access is not near like it was in MT unless you own a plane or boat, and I own neither.

Hudge, Copy. You musta been at Malmstrom. I figure the cost of living has to be less there than here, and between my company retirement and SS and beer and pizza money from Scheel's or Big Bear I oughta be ok. Although eventually I'll just subsist off what I get from my company and SS and just hunt and fish and camp all the time, which is kinda what I wanna do anyway. As long as I have a few coins for reloading components and new flies once in a while, a new tent periodically, and some grub, I'm good to go. I've kicked around Alaska, but I'm thinkin' it's more a younger man's place, and the cost of living up there has to be higher. Besides, I'm into mountain man history and such and Montana and neigboring Wyoming are prime pickin's for that kinda thing. I've managed to remain unencumbered with a wife all these years, and my dog goes with me, so the world is my playground!

Dogcatcher,
That's good shooting, sir! What's the caliber on that? Thanks. 6.5x55, 120gr ballistic tip. Tanner, going to take it antelope and deer this year. Actually, probably elk too. Since I'll have a deer tag, might as well put an elk tag in my pocket too to up the odds.

Here's a 5 round group my buddy shot with his Tikka Varmint in 6.5x55. I have the same rifle but my results have not been quite so impressive!
