The engine has 220K on it, and you can hear a definite valve tap. With my limited experience, it sure sounds like there is too much valve lash somewhere.

Good point. I think my skills should be fine, the actual valve adjustment isn't the hard part, taking everything apart to get there is more of the issue.

Looks like my wife's car needs a valve adjustment, she has a 2011 Honda Pilot, 220K miles. Is this something that I can do myself? I don't want to spend a lot, the car is near the end of its useful life. Thanks,

Thank you sir!

Saw some at Cheyanne's and Tanners last week.

I just want to report back that Tanners is definitely open for business. They are limiting the number of people allowed in at one time, they had a nice lady at the front door that was politely asking what you were there for, this way they could help you out as you entered the store. They also provided hand sanitizer as you entered. They did have plenty of 12 and 20 ga target bird shot shells, as well as clay targets. Not much in terms of other ammo.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Completely agree.

Besides not shipping ammo to NJ, Cabelas has made a few additional changes. They no linger ship to FFLs, and, if you order a firearm on line you must ship it to a store in your state of residence, so no longer can you ship to PA or DEL to pick up, from NJ you need to use the Atlantic City store.

No, but with all the changing COVID restrictions, I wanted to make sure. I will give them a call before heading out anyway.

Was thinking about heading over to Tanners next week, has anyone heard if they are open, and if so business as usual, reservations? Thanks,

I have a Ruger American in .243 Win that I like, shoots well out to 300 yards, that is the farthest I have available to shoot.

Wow- great list, thanks for sharing, I will take a look at these. Good point about the mill dots/ MOA combo, I have another scope with that combo and it definitely took some getting used to. I typically don't use my scope to estimate distance, I know I probably should, and I use software to get holdover estimates, which I then verify based on the load, but I agree, I was taught everything in mills, then for some reason started using MOA over the last few years.

Looks like we got around 6-8 here in Millstone, probably had more but it switched to sleet/freezing rain for a couple of hours last night.

Thanks Bob- I will definitely check them out!

Looking to upgrade my .17 HMR scope. I currently have a Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 4-12 x 40, which works well for the most part, but I have recently started shooting out to 300 yards and I feel like I need more magnification, and probably a better quality scope. I am shooting a Tikka T1. Thinking about getting a Vortex Viper- 6.5 X 20, anyone have any thoughts, is there something else I should consider?

This is what I heard as well, a woman committed suicide in her home.

Thanks!

Drop in income coupled with increased costs for many durable goods, consumables and food.

Still no idea what happened, heard form friends that live in the area that there were definitely gunshots, or loud noises that sounded like gun shots, there were at least 7 NJSP units that showed up along with an ambulance. Should hear something through the grapevine at some point.

Thanks everyone. I am leaning toward the Nordic Track but will check out the Eschelons as well.

Actually less than a mile from the Jackson outlets.

Probably about 25 miles or so from Trenton, but a straight line down 195

Just got word from my wife that there may have been a shooting on the Jackson - Millstone border on or near Trenton - Lakewood and Squan RD. Did anyone hear anything about this?

My wife wants an exercise bike for Christmas, she mentioned two, a Peloton and Nordic Track. Does anyone have any experience with either? Or are there others you would recommend? Also where can you buy them, I don't want to support Dicks! Thanks, any info you would be welcomed since I don't know anything about them.
