    I play a lot of stuff on steam:

     

    Team Fortress 2

    Counter Strike: GO

    Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm/ HOS

    Portal 2

    Far Cry 3

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

     

    Other services:

    Battlefield 3

    Minecraft

     

    lol, My list is kind of long.

     

    A TeamSpeak server would be cool.

     

    Been wanting to check out Rising Storm. Missed it on steam sale. :(

    Hi All,

     

    I was thinking of starting up a new gaming group (including teamspeak) for multiplayer titles. Just wondering if there was interest within this community? 

     

    Possible Titles

    • ARMA Wasteland Mod (2 and 3)
    • DayZ (Standalone when launched)
    • War Thunder
    • World of Tanks
    • Payday 2 (when released)
    • ETC

    waste of time to go......   tons of cops on 80.....   supposed to be 600 tables  noooo where near that...   overpriced ammo....  no 22lr at all there.... no youth stocks for an 870....  

     

     

    Good feedback, thanks. Sounds like we will hold off. I do like the Oaks show in PA.

     

    Took 80 out to Hope NJ to the kiddie theme park this AM. Didn't spot any police, but last Saturday was crazy!

    I would go to a Remington 700 in either 30-06 or .308 or if you want to be cool, 7mm-08 is a wonderful round to shoot I love mine.

     

    I also agree that either buying a base model 10/22 or a bolt version of a .22 would be the better buy. Bolt action .22's are wonderful especially the single shot ones, really makes you learn to take your time whereas with the 10/22 I always find myself just blowing through the mag.

     

    Shotgun I won't comment, I'm a Remington guy through and through so either or is fine.

     

    Buckmarks are nice, you can also look at a ruger mark III 22/45. After you get past the disassembly reassembly process the gun is a wonderful tack driver.

    RE: Bolt version, my old man has a Remington model 33 bolt action .22. It is the gun that I learned to shoot on, and absolutely love. I will be inheriting that one day, so wanted to go ahead and get something that is a bit different. Figuring that the 10/22 is so highly regarded, it would be fun to go in that direction. I think you guys have won me over on the SG, there is an area for shooting clays not too far from me, so the different barrels would be nice.

    Personally, I would start with a lower end 10/22, those bull barrels and the bipod in the front can get heavy if you're not shooting prone or from a bench - it would save you about $200 to start with.

     

    I can't speak for the remington 700

     

    I would also consider this mossberg http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/336/products_id/46907 with the two barrels as it's going to be more versatile for your needs.

     

    Good thoughts, thanks. I believe the 10/22 bi-pod is detachable, does it still get front heavy w/ the barrel alone? This is something to consider, as my wife will be learning to shoot on it. Perhaps I will consider the carbine variant.

    I figure it will be some time before I inherit some of the firearms that have been passed down through the family, so I am going to go ahead and start my own collection of "staples". I would like to keep the costs pretty reasonable for now, but do want quality pieces that I wont spend too much on upgrades in the future. Also interested in teaching my wife to shoot at our local range.

    Not sure how I feel on the Rem. 700, as I would eventually like to own a scout spec. rifle... any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

    Hi guys, new the site / forums here. Located in Atlantic County, about 10 miles outside of AC. I grew up shooting various firearms when visiting my grandparents farm in Alabama (mix of rifles, shotguns and handguns). Been a NJ resident for about 10 years now & have wanted to get into shooting again, but wasn't sure about the best way to go about doing it (have not been up-to-date on all the state laws / etc). I am increasingly interested in purchasing a rifle to use at the range down here (Remington 700 or the like), and perhaps taking some classes to brush up my skills. Looking forward to reading through the forum / learning more info via the site!
