Sabbatical: as in took some time-off…….. hell: as in retired but "NOT" enjoying it! Can't even draw a cow/calf license……5th year now!
Only thing to look forward to is work around the house……that ain't enjoyable! I'll survive this year, and maybe next year will be different!

Hang in there brother, I'll prescribe for you 4 doses of H&H recoil weekly - should have you back on track in 4-6 weeks 
i tried to retire in 2007, but that didn't go well for me
Still grinding (but just part time)

Thanks! I have 40 rounds of 250 grain TTSX's to "burn-up"……freeing-up cases for my new 270 LRX loads.
I hope that you can actually get retired and do some of the things that most of us have put on that "bucket list"! It's getting pretty depressing watching the months/years go by and "not" scratching off anything on the list!
As I said, maybe next year! Hell……I might even get to shoo5 something with those 270 grain LRX's!

The last time I drew an antelope tag was in 2011 and the last mule deer tag was 4 years ago! I'm retired too and have decided to break into coyote hunting to cure my hunting itch! I live west of the Cascades and was planning on going east of the Cascades in September for coyotes but may have to postpone it if the fire danger is still high -- but looking forward to it!Sabbatical: as in took some time-off…….. hell: as in retired but "NOT" enjoying it!

That's a thought. Maybe once I prove or disprove the quality of my Leupold…….maybe I'll try to do some coyote calling once were have a little snow on the ground! Might as well use those 250 TTSX's for something!

Thanks for the very generous offer, that would be awesome, but not really doable. But, the offer means a heck of a lot! Thanks! memtb
I witnessed several leupolds yesterday get dialed and make impacts out to 800 yards from vx freedoms to vx6 s and all worked flawlessly.
I've had to send several different brands back of scopes back to the factory for warranty repair over forty plus years. Those include some high $$$$ names. Two European brands and couple of made in Asia. Vortex, leupold, night force, Stiner and Swarovski. Every one of them was damaged by ME!!! All of them either repaired or replaced them. Only one manufacturer caused me any concern. Swarovski, what a pain to deal with. I decided then not to buy another one. Majority of my scopes are built in the USA. Bash leupold all you want. I'll stick with them.

Well, we put ourselves in harms way and dialed the VX3i scope to 505, then back to zero, got a tad closer dialed back to 490, ok still no shot, put it back to zero. We'll try another day. We backed out and circled around the ridge got to 373 yds. Dialed again and my wife's 280 AI barked. Perfect heart shot and buck went all 4 feet up in the air. Leupold CDS worked again! We got a nice blacktail buck and our little daughter was happy as can be.
