Well, she was definately smiling, and the range was empty. Made for a nice shoot. Nothing like a little trigger time to relieve stress.

Welcome

Ok, I am officially jealous. Nice rifles

No cheek weld? :shock: My eyes are bleeding from reading such blasphemy.

I love Solomon's, Gene is real nice guy.

My wife and I will be shooting sometime late thursday morning. You can tell us by the smile on the womens face shooting an XD. She made me take off of work so we can shoot and then fish in the afternoon. The absolute horrors I must deal with by being married.

There is nothing wrong with a 12 ga 870 for an all purpose gun. If you realy like it and want more you can check out an over/under. I love shooting mine. It is very comfortable to shoulder and swings fantastic.

The faster twist barrels do well with 62 and 69 gr bullets. They will shoot a 55 as well, but the faster twist is needed to stabilize the heavier bullet. I have a 1 in 9 bushmaster and a 1 in 12 Encore, so I stay with the 55's.

Yes it is.

I am a gadget junkey, as I have more bags than I have gear. Midway has their bag on sale for $40 that is supposed to be great. Or home depot and a $20 workforce tool bag works just fine..

Welcome, glad to have you

Welcome Jack

Welcome to the forum.

nothing like Hoppes #9 flavored hot pockets

Now correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the Patriot Act give the President the ability to designate an organization or group a terrorist group? Or whatever the Politically correct word of the day is.

An M14 is select fire, M1A is only semi auto. Nice rifles

For bird hunting I have a Stoeger Condor that is the ultimate field gun. It shoots everytime I pull the trigger, It was inexpensive as over unders go and it takes a beating. I mean when I hunt I go through the thorns, briars, trees, rain & snow. I beat the absolute hell out of this gun and for 11 years it has been fantastic. When time comes, I will buy another. I did not buy it to look cool at a shoot, I bought it to use as a tool. What do you like?

You can never have enough reloading manuals. I have also found the Hogdgon Reloading Data Center to be an invaluable tool. Especially since I use IMR and Winchester powders.

That is how I learned as well. I wish I had a go to person though. Over the last year or two I have learned a few things from these internet forums as well. I did a lot of trial and error. If I can help through my experiences and save them a headache, I am more than happy too.

I am, I am offering to help them set up and learn.

There was a place on 22 in Hillside called Armament Gunsmithing. He used to do good work from what I hear if he is still there.

There are some bird hunters on here. Maybe one has some info.

When I started loading, 308 brass from Scharch was sized, trimmed and crimp removed for $40/500. I miss that. Luckily I go overboard and think about rainy days.

5 permits :shock: , it is either wishful thinking, or I need to get a job like yours.
