will wait for shane to respond to that one, considering he has some actual experience with them... but leupold makes good stuff... good overpriced scopes. =)

You get what you pay for. The APV is 100 times better then the Bushnell. Optics are super clear. They are great scopes. So he should of just spent $2k and gotten a SB, or USO. =) For $50 or less it is tough to beat that value. If you spend $150 or so, Muellers are great scopes.

seems like prices are coming down. glad you had a good time. was considering going but decided to spend it with the fam today.

yep, $114 now that I did a look. But still, over 2.5 times the price of the bushnell rimfire. for the parameters given, $50 or less, it is tough to beat the bushnell rimfire.

was covered a few times and a few links were posted for the copy of the book online. read the 68 pages... well worth it.

what does NJ have to say about it?

Hope it works out for you but the better choice would have been the Mueller APV. It is a great scope but also 2.5 times the price. =) There is no right or wrong. =)

what kind of mount is it? You would want something with a longer eye relief.

Really??? The ATF says otherwise. ?

Radek, you are absolutely right. That is why with time you get an idea of credible places.

+1 to CJ members who were able to take care of it and glad he is ok.

YEs... you guys are right. I think I was talking with Dan, or someone else about the Sig 516, and they mentioned it was going to be Gas. Wow. they went Gas Piston on it... not bad

Random generic "answer" websites with dubious credibility, anonymous editing and no references are hardly an authority in my eyes. In all my reading and searching for my TT collection, i've never found any discussion of a german manufactured Tokarev pistol like the EG Suhl Makarov's. OTOH, there was plenty of capturing and reuse on the battlefield and if enough similar resources were amassed, reclassification and reissue would be employed. But of course, this is wholly different than explicit manufacture especially since capture/reissue can be either negative (RC mausers) or positive (Finn M39). http://luger.gunboards.com/showthread.php?t=19790 I trust gun forums more than those answer sites. Most of the answer sites, people just want to post an answer... and it is quite tough to get it corrected. On a discussion forum, the right answer is easier to find. But enough with the "google doesnt make you an expert." This is like the 5th time hearing it and it is no longer fun. However I dont believe there ever was an east german tt. So, a gun board thread now qualifies for credibility in your eyes? I think you are upset because you didn't like my comment in some other post. Google foo doesn't make anyone an expert on firearms history, so I will just let it go at that.

WB tom, How much car wax do you mix in there?

Lose, not Loose Anyway, that's what I did @ Lou's Gun Shop for the PX4 Storm. TJ's and Vinny's were saying about $550-560 OTD. PX4Storm said he got it there for about $600 OTD but the gun shop guy said that probably wasn't right. Still, I beat him up on the price and got him down to $593 & change. So why didnt you buy it from Tony's or Vinny's? they support the forum. =)

Tommy, Just looked up your quote request. Vinny did reply, however he hit reply to me, not to you, I will fwd you his email... however I am not surprised as to why you did not get a response from everyone based on your indications of when you are going to be purchasing it and your capacity to do so. The quote request is a heavily used feature, with multiple requests a day, with alot of people just requesting quotes, with little intentions of purchasing, so for that reason, some will answer only to those able to.

Yes, most will respond within 24 to 48 hours. The brick and mortar stores will respond depending on your location. You would typically expect to get 3 responses. Send me an email with your name and email that you used for the quote and I will take a look at it. If you just bomb them with send a quote with 5 or 10 guns in one... or tell someone that you are looking for a pistol however havent even applied for permits... some will not take that up. The price request quote is a convenience for the users. If you need a response that moment, pick up the phone and call them.

Also, if you are visiting a local gun store, and the tag is more expensive.... why not ask for a price match? They will negotiate... if not, you didnt lose anything. Btw, when you go buy a car... do you pay sticker price? Same thing for a Gun. Buying a gun is not buying a tv at Best Buy. You can negotiate... Heck... I even knocked off $300 off of the tag on my Vepr at CABELAS!

chris, strike the last part.... All the Comm Bloc countries used it..... BECAUSE THEY HAD TO! Central planning baby. But I cant speak to the reliability of them. hehe. I have seen some very nice examples though.

humn, that fort knox simplex one is on sale, $139 is not bad at all. I do like the idea of a biometric safe.... but you know when you most need it, you will run out of batteries or it would not take your finger print... furthermore, dont your kids have nearly the same prints as you?

but depends on what combat situation... Ie tangos at 400 yards and it is your only weapon.... or you just need to suppress the crowds and throw cover fire and there is a guy with a 338 lapua sniper taking out targets at 1000 +. But luckily..... we are not limited to one or the other. =)

congrats Mike! Mazel tov. Whats her name? I know you have the gun... but do you have the 5 acres and a shovel ready? Better start preparing for the boys she will be dating.

Find a different Shop. You are being taken with a pole up your butt. Brick Armory, $35 transfers for forum members. + nics TJ Sporting Arms $25 + nics Pk90, Vinny are all in the same range. As far as Tax.... YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DECLARE ANY UNTAXED OUT OF STATE PURCHASES ON YOUR NJ INCOME TAX! Some shops will demand you pay the tax right there on the gun, however it is your right to pay for the tax at the end of the year on your income taxes. Not paying taxes on untaxed out of state purchases is ILLEGAL. Most shops here will have you pay transfer fee, plus nics and tax on the transfer fee, not the price of the gun. Having said that, you may save $10 by buying online, however by doing that you are not doing anything to help the local vendors and those that keep your right to gun ownership alive. If something is a collectible, or tough to find, it is a different story, but try going local first.

If you are going there the first time, I suggest meeting up with a forum member, typically we met on 537 by Six flags in the past. As far as fees. A Member can guest in 3 or 4 others. Fees are $3 an hour. Typically allow yourself 2 hours to shoot. Membership is $60 or $65 dollars. If you are LEO, or Active Duty (possibly reserves/HD) it is $30. Targets are avail, $3 per target. A spotting scope is a plus, you can rent it there for $2. Post diggers are avail to use for free.

Pizzabob... slight correction. 556 is a gas piston. 516 is gas.
