I did buy two of the hot dogs when the BBQ was near completion..... and they were at a pretty deep discount.

I immediately regret that decision to eat discount hot dogs.

Are you making bi-weekly payments so you end up making 13 payments on the mortgage in a year instead of 12? Thats what we setup when we got our 30yr mortgage. After our wedding, we're going to be applying an extra $100 to principal each payment, which is 25% extra. If I did the math correctly (and I'd like to think I did) we'll have the 30yr mortgage paid off in about 21yrs. That is, assuming we stay in this house, but I kind of hope we don't because that would mean I'd be stuck living in the desert that long. And I hate the desert.

I stopped going to their website because there were too many things that kept ending up in the shopping cart and with the credit card saved, all I had to do was click submit. Also applies at BCM.

I'm really trying hard to not buy another scope or rifle, BUT...... I don't have my rifle built just yet. I need a good R700 SA scope base....

The EGW base I got is pretty nice, not a badger but it fit up really well when I mounted it. Zero holds dead on.

How long does it take to drive from one side of Alamogordo to the other? Or do you have to go to another town for stuff?

I'm paying an extra 200 principal each month. It doesn't seem like a lot right now, but WOW it makes a difference in the long run!

I got lucky and hit a refinance just right. Switched from a 30 year at 4.7% to a 15 year at 2.5%. Payments only went up $125/mo and my interest and principle basically flipped, so now I'm mostly just paying my home's equity instead of paying the bank. Bank even covered most of closing.

About 7-10 minutes. I live on pretty much the far end of the town, right at the edge by the mountains, so all errands can be done by making one loop around the city lol.

So, haven't done that much research but have been considering a Rem700 build (Rem 700 SPS Varmint in H-S Precision Stock, SWFA 10x mrad scope, undecided rings, harris bipod). Are the Badger Ordnance scope base considered the best for the Rem700?

It definitely does, because all of that payment goes towards principal which is what people don't realize. Stupid amortization schedules! My current payments are only putting like $155 towards principal.

Wow, that's a spectacular improvement! With the $200 extra, I'm paying about $500 down on my principal each month. We probably bought a little more house than we should've... lol

I think Badger are considered the premo option by a lot of people. But hell I don't know the difference so I just bought stuff that got good reviews and was still affordable.

I bought an R700 SPS V for like $400 a couple years ago. Dick's was running a special and there was a factory rebate. I've been on the cheap but here's what I have on it now...

Bell and Carlson stock ~$220
Factory bdl floorplate ~$50
EGW scope base ~$40
Burris XTR 30mm rings ~$40
Millett TRS1 scope ~$275
Harris bipod ~$80

Not at the rate your cranking the kids out [ROFL1]

500/month towards principle is still really awesome! I think before my refi only about $250 was going towards my principle so you'll be set based on that experience.

Agreed. You should never store a girly watering can in the same place as your lawnmower!

Now I'm in the ER. Mrs. Belly dropped my motorcycle on her foot trying to move it. I came home to an upended Harley, an open garage door, and a non-answering wife.

I entered Beast Mode pretty effin quick.

Turns out she was in the bathroom trying to keep it cold to reduce the swelling.

Aw shit!

Hope she's okay and didn't break any bones, but if it was really swollen, she might have. :(

Heal up fast MrsBelly!
