I only began shooting centerfire rifles a few years ago but my first was a Remington 700 (.308 win) I found on sale locally. Still have it to this day, albeit after a few upgrades. Just started loading for it and plan on finishing load development this month (175g over 4064). Still just as...
Thank you, Josh! So far only enjoyed Colorado Springs in February but I’d like to go again and see more. I think a clear highlight of the visit was and is Garden of the Gods
Thank you for the welcome! I wish I had an extra day of the week just to surf these forums. I really feel like if this lifestyle takes ahold I may not stay here, or at the very least the Los Angeles area.
It is very nice to have so many other options within a days drive from CA. I really like Utah as well, again not spending nearly enough time there myself.
I definitely take it as a compliment they are inviting me! It’s good to have friends you can be happy talking with as well as being comfortably silent. Even better if these friends enjoy the great outdoors and have some good recipes to share haha
Appreciate all the info and I’ll definitely check out those videos. I’m not against forgoing some 5 star meals in exchange for those million star vistas at night.
And you’re right… I, like others, have a tendency to get caught up in the planning but without an actual activation date it ends up...
Thank you!
I’m still in that honeymoon phase and figuring out the whole workflow. I know if I go with a formal hunt, I’ll get a chance to get some proper top down instruction. Not that I wouldn’t glean anything from my friends and peers but professional guidance is appreciated. I remember...
Thank you! I need to see more of Oregon!
I plan on my first one or two excursions to be with someone seasoned and I’m hoping to just be their pack mule in exchange for some eyes on/hands on experience before I make an attempt myself. I’d like to know in advance what to do in the event of a...
Good morning all! Some coffee and a little bit of reading go well together. Super happy to be welcomed so warmly. Warm as the North Mexican sun as Mike M might put it!
I dove into handloading as my pandemic hobby. Probably not the best timing to get components but I had most of the actual...
This was clearly the wrong time to try and teach myself how to handload. But I am happy I picked up a healthy habit of treating components like they’re (literally) scarce and making the most out of load development and practice.
You all are super welcoming, thank you very much!
I grew up just outside of SF so my outdoors experience only came when we could get out of the city to do fishing, camping or hiking. I live in Los Angeles now which puts me close to the 395 and I already like backpacking there. I’ve had offers...
