I saw a deal for bulk .22lr on their website and not knowing they don't ship to NJ, I placed an order. I received an order confirmation yesterday. Today, I received a tracking number indicating the item has shipped.
Have they changed their policy or am I pretty much setting myself up for a cancelled order in the near future?

Been looking to get into the rifle world but don't want to spend the money associated with moving to 5.56/.223 I know it is pretty cheap but .22lr is even cheaper. I want something bolt action for accuracy and to force a little more discipline on the trigger and ammo use. I like something that other people don't really have which is why for my handgun I went FNX 45 and not a 1911 or Glock. ( I am definitely getting a 1911 someday though, just too damn pretty not to get one). I have started a poll with some that I have come across that fit my criteria, albeit flexible criteria.
Magazine fed
Bolt action
Preferably wood stock
iron sights( not necessary)
Good looks, let's be honest not one wants to shoot the Ford Edsel of the gun world ( cough Glock cough)
Please feel free to add in some that I have over looked to add to my frustration and confusion. But it will be appreciated advice. Thanks in advance for the votes and advice.

I was lurking around the forum the other day reading about someone looking for a rifle and the name Sako came up. So I inevitably took a look and found their Sako quad range 22lr rifle,which actually has 3 other interchangeable caliber barrels.

So has anyone had hands on or know someone that has hands on? Is it worth the money? I think it is in the 1000 range sans optics. I think the thing is beautiful but is the beauty worth that much? I also like bit because it does not seem big around here from my lurking experience, partly from price I would guess. I like the unique or no one else has it factor.
Thank for your help guys.

Hey guys. I've been thinking of getting a new stock for my Glenfield model 60, but on the website for Boyd's stocks it says their stocks are only inlet for newer styled trigger guards. Are trigger guards off the newer model 60s compatible with a Glenfield 60?

Near it. Now don't argue a few inches of penetration here. That can vary to the testing conditions using ballistics gel. But ballistics gel, properly used, gives a consistent standard for evaluation. 45 hardball runs about 30" of penetration. 9mm parabellum fmj runs 24-26". Not much difference. I have seen 45 fmj hit heavy bone like a hip and not exit. But the shot stopped the guy. Made the bad guy fall down. He dropped his gun in the process and offer no further resistance. Remember, as good guys we dont shoot to kill we shoot to stop. If you get the first shot off, miss the bad guy, and he drops his gun and surrenders that is a successful shoot. From the tests I've seen most of the 9mm copper rounds run about the same or a bit more than std fmj. They get their penetration from their high velocity. AFAIC I'd just as soon use fmj than pay the premium price copper rounds cost. Remember, once you get an entry and exit wound on the bad guy anything else is wasted and dangerous. There was a shooting by NYPD in the past few years. IIRC the bad guy was kind of big and was coming after two NYPD officers with a knife. Both shot him and they found bullets in the bad guys jacket. Initially it was reported the jacket stopped the Gold Dot the NYPD officers were using. When the boys (and girls) from forensics got done with their stuff the bullets had penetrated the bad guy and lodged in the jacket. Perfect performance of a SD bullet. There was another shooting outside the Empire State Building. The bad guy wasn't that big. NYPD shot him and there were claims bystanders were hit by the NYPD bullets. The crew from forensics proved the bystanders were hit by fragments of the NYPD bullets that had penetrated the bad guy. So much for all the people who claim cops can't shoot. I bring these incidents up because I always wait "for the rest of the story" before making a judgement. I'm not a fan of +P except in 38 special. I carry factory wadcutters in a j frame. Ive stated my reasons why several times. However, if you havent seen them pm me and I'll tell you. NATO spec pressure falls between SAAMI spec and +P. +P in 9mm really doesn't get you much more in performance over standard 9mm rounds. I've drifted from your question but felt my answer is applicable. The hollowpoint law in NJ only puts bystanders at risk.
