Hey guys! So, long story short, my wife and I are contestants on the upcoming shooting reality TV show, "Shot To The Heart". Apparently there is a "special prize" for the couple (there's only two other couples) that get the most likes, shares, and comments on social media. I ask for your support in this venture by going to https://www.facebook.com/shottothehearttv/ and also their instagram @shottothehearttv and liking/sharing/commenting on the post that features Liz and I (I to the extent that you have time to spare) If you're interested in watching, the details can all be found on the shows website here http://www.shottotheheart.com/ THANK YOU EVERYONE for your help and support. I can't wait to post my experience afterwards! We're flying down to Texas in July for filming and I believe it will air around February 2019.

This guy's a natural orator... in the most delightfully plain-spoken, down-to-earth way... what an absolute gem!

I've had the CZ 455 Precision Trainer for about 3 months now and put at least 500+ round through it. It's easily one of the most accurate .22LRs that I've owned. The only modification that I feel needs to be done at this point is to replace the trigger spring with a YoDave kit to lighten it up just a tiny bit (and find some lower rings to get the scope a little closer to the barrel). My only "complaint" would be the magazines which are a little expensive and feel kind of flimsy unlike some other .22LR mags that I've used. The same barreled action is available in the CZ Tacticool model, the only difference being that the stock is laminate wood instead of fiberglass. Edit: Added a picture of a 5 round group at 50 yards using Federal Target Ammo. I’ll blame myself for the flyer at the top right

How dare you! <accusing glaring stare> A man pours out his heart about caring for and nurturing a living thing, making the world a more beautiful and orderly place, and you step all over his feelings. And women wonder why men don't open up to them. sheesh.... Lawn care is an art and a science, it is an expression of one's deep love of nature and for pride in ownership they have. It's a man's way of saying, "hey world, look at this beautiful lawn, I did this, yes, me. I took the time to create hundreds of thousands of beautiful little lives and care for them like a man.". This is nothing less than stepping on his first amendment right to express himself. It's like walking into starfucks wearing a MAGA hat. All the hate and judgement against traditional values. I mean, what attack must we men endure next? Will we be mocked for perfectly trimmed hedges or making a lovely rock garden?

ugh... that's one number I don't want to know for my own sanity spent $4k on 1911's alone last year lol

Not sure how to post an anonymous poll but I am curious what the average NJGF member spends on Firearms, ammo, and accessories. Could someone maybe make a poll. $0-500 $500-1000 $1,000-2,000 $2,000-5,000 $5,000-10,000 $10,000-20,000 $20,000 or more Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Lol. Thanks Scorpio. At least SOMEBODY here understands.

As of today's rain, it's at least 8" high ... and still too wet to cut.

The upper and lower receiver came from the factory FDE. I had Modern Materiel cerakote the rail FDE as well but it didnt match the receiver set, so I actually had them respray it everything.

if it's green, I let it grow. fuck anything else; I can never keep a good lawn going for long.

All of that is fine. If it's what you want and you can afford it go for it. That CZ goes for over $800 everywhere I've looked. Add halfway decent glass and you're talking $1000. That's twice as much as the stated budget. There are plenty of more affordable options out there.

This is a great time for everyone to learn the wonderful hobby of reloading. Group buy components to share the shipping / hazmat fees and it’ll get even cheaper. Often powder valley has hazmat free shipping in large purchases. Yeah it takes time to reload but not that much time and there’s no cheaper way to enjoy quality ammo fit to you specific firearms leaving more money for range fees.

I don’t think that you can go wrong with any of the CZ 455 models. What’s great about them is that, similar to the Ruger 10/22, there are a ton of aftermarket parts for them (barrels, trigger kits, stocks, etc.) I shot a bunch of .22LR bolt guns (Savage, CZ, Anschutz, and Ruger) before I decided on the 455. In the end, I narrowed my choices to either the Savage or CZ and went with the CZ. The RPR rimfire is another solid choice that will probably have a lot more aftermarket support down the road. My gripe with that gun is that I kind of feel that Ruger cut corners on the chassis design in order to keep the gun at a certain price point which I can’t fault them for.

Depending on what youth model, it may be a felony to own it if you don't have a youth hanging around. I don't recall all of the particulars but youth rifles are somehow allowed to have an OAL shorter than federal regs allow. The Cricket comes to mind as having been the catalyst for the discussion for which I have only a vague recollection.

Here's the NRA's top 7 list of rifles for the shorties. They are not listed in any particular order. Browning X-Bolt Micro Composite: The only thing this Browning is short on is length of pull. ... Mossberg International SA-20/SA-28 Bantam: ... Savage 110 Lightweight Storm: ... Ruger Precision Rimfire: ... Franchi Affinity Catalyst 20 Gauge: ... Savage B Series Compact: ...

@TokenEntry - Oh, what an interesting design! I love a "novel" type firearm. But as I already mentioned to Fred2... though I love the idea of a vintage gun, I will almost certainly NOT go vintage on a long gun. (I've been watching a lot of videos on "fitting" long guns and it's brought me a TON of clarity... even in terms of understanding some of the reasons why shotguns were so uncomfortable... I can see that any vintage long gun with a "normal-sized" adult stock would not fit me... and... I just couldn't bring myself to have a vintage item cut down. It just seems... wrong. Some might think that's silly... but it would bother me (and it probably would affect resale value too I would guess). I've been reading lots of great reviews of the CZs... thanks to those who chimed in here. I might try to find a local rental --- that will either keep it on the short list or eliminate it. Lots of great ideas!

Already shared it via the NJGF Facebook page.

Here is a video put out by sootch00 I came across today. Interesting Beretta rifle that is C&R eligible. It's a semi auto and bolt action in one package. A neat rifle to collect and use as a trainer, but it has quite a few cons that is talked about in the video. Video is 11:15 mins long. Regards, TokenEntry

I learned to always have something up my sleeve after reading "The Five Chinese Brothers".

The safe suburban counties have the most (legal) guns and the lowest homicide rates. The urban counties have the fewest (legal) guns and the highest homicide rates. Everything the legislature does punishes people who are not a problem. (It's analogous to kicking a dog after a bad day at work.) How did this happen? The Watts riots took place in 1965 and the NJ firearm laws were passed in 1966. The original goal was not to prevent law abiding citizens from purchasing firearms for recreation and self defense. However, it was Politically Incorrect to state what the actual goal was, even in 1966.

4" barrel revolver, sounds like an air rifle. Actually, closer yet, do you remember those cap guns when you were a kid? Sounds like those.

So, just finally ordered the Pflueger President, though I went with the 30 after seeing the sizes of the 20 and 25 - the 30 is about the same size as what I'm replacing and I like the size. However, after handling one in a store, I'm very seriously thinking I may have to order the 20 for my other rod. I still gotta figure out what kinda line I'm going to go for in the future. I'll be using the braid I have for now, but still want to get something a bit more like the old stuff I used to use and love. Thanks again all.

Come on, really. Is this something we want to face? No. I'd rather stay in denial thanks.

Don't we all?

Just finished this up. Just need a RDS

The general rule of thumb we follow is cut it as short as you can (or like) without making a mess. ie clumps or a lot of clippings left on top. The shorter you cut it, the more you have to water. In the hot summer months, cut it higher to help prevent the soil from drying out. Cutting higher does help deny weeds sunlight, but so does weed killer. Side note, most damage to lawns is because of dull mower blades.

If you are looking to go vintage, I have what it think is a 1930's vintage Winchester 52 with an old scope on it. It is a bolt action gun, with a small magazine. I shot it once, and it is pretty accurate.

Look into the Marlin XT-22YR Bolt action. Inexpensive. Accurate. I purchased my XT-22 for $100 after rebate from Cabela's in Delaware.

get a henry youth .22 lever action. they also have a single shot bolt action for kids. https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/mini-bolt-youth/ eta: hell I might have to add one of those to my upcoming henry purchases. eta2: if you and your friend are interested, I could bring my current collection of .22lr rifles (all are Henry's, shocking I know) and she could try them out. Scope options are available for them. The youth one I have has a custom cut stock to fit my son, but I have the original length stock as well. I need an "excuse" to get out to EFGA anyways.

Um....did YOU go to Trenton and voice your opinion earlier this year? There were two opportunities; were you there? I took the time to be there - I've got a farm AND a day job (unlike the 'paid' protesters on the Left.) So what is your 'true mission'? 2A rights or "uh ...I gotta work...."? The 'outings' you mention are one of the means that provides the cash to run these protests, lobby the elected reps, and drive-home the story to the Left that (a) they don't know what they're talking about, (b) it only impacts the lawful citizens; not the criminal element, and (c) its not an echo-chamber, there is opposition to their stupid plans! You mention your labor union....when the union heads came around and told you to vote Dem to 'save your job', 'get more contracts', or some other nonsense like that...did YOU speak-up and call BS on them? I know several who did at their union meetings. Walt Kelly was right; "we have met the enemy, and he is us..."

And this is why not being able to collapse or extend your stock SUCKS! Thanks NJ!

This is patently untrue. I, with mine own eyes, have personally witnessed you breaking at least three clays in flight. That is proof positive you have the ability, you just need to do what you did the three times more often.
