It sounds even worse when you say it

I went to Woodbridge H.S. and then graduated from JFK in Iselin in its first year. Used to swim in the clay pits near where Woodbridge Center now stands. Yeah, I'm that old!

Hi Doc and welcome! I grew up in Middlesex; not far from the O-Bridge.

Thank you, Maksim. I appreciate the offer and will keep that in mind.

It seems like they all come in sub $300. I've heard the rap about take down of the Ruger, but other than that, everyone seems pleased. I have a few Smiths (5906 and 686) so I may look into the 22A too. Thanks for your responses. I appreciate it.

I'm interested in getting a .22 pistol as soon as my permits come through (references were called this week). I'm thinking that I want to go with either the Browning Buckmark Camper or the Ruger 22/45. After picking up a CZ452 a few months ago, I'm finding that a good .22 is cheap fun and allows for more practice. I think I want it with the 5 1/2" bull barrel. They both list around the same price - $325. Anyone own one or can give a recommendation? Thanks!

Very nice wood! One of these days I'm going to have to figure out how to post pics...after I take some pics. Mine's one of the last made in Aug of 56. It's a HRA, but most parts are S'field. The barrel is like new. Don't forget to order more ammo from CMP. I think the stockpile is going faster than predicted. I've been waiting since 12/19 for my last order which should arrive any day, I hope.

Thanks; I'll have to check them out.

I took off from work today thinking that it was going to be sunny and 70. It never worked out that way, but it was a good day at the range nonetheless. I took the H&R Garand and my 1917 Eddystone and had a great time. The M1 is my favorite, and I've been very surprised at the accuracy of the 1917. It's been a long winter and I'm looking forward to getting out more. BTW, I started the day by dropping off the paperwork at my friendly neighborhood PD for 3 handgun permits. I actually only wanted to get one good .22 target pistol, but with the hassle involved, I figured I might as well make it worth my while and get the three at the same time. The law actually encouraged me to get more than I really wanted. :mrgreen:

Is Cheyenne Mountain the new place that Harry's spun off?

I'm glad to see that you are also aware of and support NJCSD. I'm a supporting member there too. The more of us working together here in NJ, the better. Thanks for your efforts.

Saw this on High Road and had to stop by, sign up and say "hi." It's good to see some other familiar names.
