Thinking of a 10/22 as my first gun when I get state side, not really done much shooting except clays and a 22 would be cheap to learn the fundamentals right?

Absolutely

Where you coming from?

miliradians are superior

thought I’d let everyone know

Gettingnl tired of my shit falling appart when i need it, need suggestions for a decent pair of every day shoes or boots that will last more than a few months before the tread seperates from the rest of the shoe

I like the Merrill 8"... wears like a sneaker, tough like a boot

Ive got Danner boots, and hiking boots that last, Merrill also lasts...

I try and catch 140-200 boots on sale, buy 2 pairs

I've got a pair of redwing blacksmith boots. They're not made for hiking but work well enough. The only downside seems to be they're a bit slick on smooth floors. Otherwise they're made to last years and years.
Plenty of other good boots out there though, I'd suggest watching some videos from Carl Murawski. They review a lot of boots and other clothes that are made to last for life.

Just tired of dropping 80$ ever coupple of months

Would much rather have a hiking type shoe than a boot but whatever will last im down for

Has anyone ever heard of Hazard 4 or their products

Yeah an $80 pair of boots won't last you. Hell a $150 pair of boots might last a year or two of regular walking on pavement

I wear red wings for work, only thi g I don't kill in 6 months

You don't really get into those 8-10 year boots until you hit 300 or more. Sometimes on sale

granted if they're for work they probably won't even last that long, depending on what you do

I'm a heavy industrial mechanic/electrician... I only get 3 years out of a pair of RW

There's only so much stress that leather and rubber can take after all

But yeah I'd definitely suggest looking at Carl Murawski's youtube channel. They've been in construction for a long time and know a good bit about clothes that last, and practical fashion

But still worth the $350

I work in IT at a grain mill, so I'm in a lot of different environments from an office to mills full of giant industrial machinery, so I found a happy balance with the redwing heritage blacksmith boot. It's not a workboot, but still durable enough to take life. At least so far, haven't had them too long.

Nice, I switched a while ago, on my third pair of the loggers... 3 years on each, and honestly the last time I just got a new pair because it had been 3 years

But I work in a chemical manufacturing facility, so I have to have steel toe, slip resistant, and electrical rated

I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and they're just starting to break in, walking around 8 miles a day. Still not the most comfortable thing but I've been told that because of the cork midsole and stiff leather, they'd be horrible at first and end up super comfortable

Yeah, all redwings are like that

Most good boots with natural materials from what I hear

I've heard it said that a bad shoe will be comfortable to start and uncomfortable after time, while a good shoe is uncomfortable to start but gets more comfortable over time. Then you've got custom stuff which is just always comfortable

but I'm not paying a thousand dollars for a pair of boots at my salary lol

The Merrill 8" I got are comfortable all the way, had them a while now

I wear 5.11 boots. I like them, and they last a while. I have two pairs

5.11 makes decent stuff. I tried their pants and wore them out in two months though

a couple different ones. Right now I'm on a pair of duluth pants and they're holding up decently

I've never heard anything good about 5.11

I wear Blaklader x1600 pants for work, the only thing I can't destroy easily... blew out the Duluth fire hose pants in less than a year

I like the built in kneepad pockets on the x1600's though, I rock some heavy duty waffle style hard rubber with air in each square.

I blew out the firehose pants pretty quickly, but I wanted to try their jeans. So far they seem to be pretty good quality, and a bit better built than the firehose pants

I wanna say the firehose pants lasted me 4 months, which is longer than usual

it's always the crotch that goes
