    Water heater installation cost in mtn west

    What do you guys see for water heater installation cost in the mountain west? I'm in Utah and was just quoted $1600 for labor. That seems crazy I'm sure I could do it myself but don't know the codes, live in a city, would have to pull permit from city, and plan to sell in a couple years. So I...

    Second guessing shooting a 6.5cm tikka

    I bought a new factory takeoff 24" Tikka 6.5cm barrel. The plan is for a cheaper rifle for practice that can also take quality factory ammo and be a backup for hunting, also one that has SRP brass available since they're easier to find than LRP I use. I've got some Lapua SRP brass on the way...

    I've always been into backpack hunting, keeping everything light and on my back, having a cold camp, and trekking up to 10 miles in. For this year, I'm considering going with a 4 man tipi, like the Argali Absaroka, and a stove. I'd set up a spike camp most of the way in and then hunt out 2-3...
