I heard on the news that the officers were on the first floor and the shooter was on the second floor? Was he shooting through the floor? Shooter was hit 9 times and lived. Those cops have to practice more!

I read this two minutes ago and I am still laughing. Too sad but true.

Welcome to the forum, this is a great site with lots of helpful information, some really friendly people, great vendors and accommodating ranges.

I try not to get hurt so I don't need all that stuff 8-)

I , too, am James Madison

Welcome from Ocean County neighbor! I got back into shooting after a 40+ year hiatus, it is like riding a bike...only more expensive

Maksim, the 1911 was insane, definitely the next pistol on my list. Hell, if I had a permit, I would sell my XD, Taurus and maybe even my Storm to get one. The HK was very nice too but would not cycle my reloads but did cycle my factory rounds. Then I remembered we run a softer spring in my XD to cycle my soft loads.

I had to deliver my son's car back to him in Long Island so we went to Wendy's next to Republic Airport and see some planes taking off. Got Chili and a baked potato.

I would like to get an AR and a Garand and a CZ and a S&W big Revolver like a .357.

Welcome to the forum!

I ran over to Bob Kislin's and got 2 boxes of 000 Buck. I asked for 00 Buck but they were out. I didn't have enough time to run over to Dick's, maybe they sell buck at BA? I didn't realize there are only 5 shots in a box? I should have bought more Gee, I think I will have to bring the XD too as I will need something else to shoot when not talking to everyone.

Hey Caine, Dick's has a sale on a Stoeger O/U this week, check out their flyer. I was torn between that and a Remington 870 Express they had on sale. I bought the 870. If I could have, I would have bought one of each

Holy crap, you guys spend way too much time on here

Tim, can I use the same shells that I bought for clays to try it out at BA or should I get something different? I bought 2 3/4" -7 1/2 for clays.

Thanks, I think it looks real sharp too. It is a wood laminated stock so it really shows the grain from each layer. My Ruger K10-22 Target also has a laminated stock so I have a series going now I guess?

I almost forgot the obligatory pictures. I know, a Remmy is a Remmy but I am so happy I finally got mine.

I ordered some stuff from Graingers a few weeks ago to take to the meet. I think it was $5.11 a box or maybe $5.60 a box, plus shipping of course. I figured for my first try, it didn't mattered since I will probably not be hitting much? Next time I'll just run to dicks and get a brand name

Thanks Wolfy, just posted there.

Just got back from Dick's new Manahawkin store, checked out the Remmy and bought it. Now I have to learn how to shoot clays? Wasn't somebody setting up a shoot in Jackson next month Tomorrow I have to drive to Long Island to return my son's (now fixed) GTI and pick up my Nitro. If I get home early enough, I will be at BA and maybe Tim can give it a once over and we can shot it a bit?

Thanks Guys! My son took my Nitro and left me his GTI last night because his wiper motor took a dump so I will be going to Freehold VW this week to have it fixed (the disadvantage of being retired, he is too busy at his new job and can't take off to get car fixed while I have "all the ime in the world ), so I guess I will stop at Dick's and pick one out

Here's the deal, my son gave me a nice Dick's GC for my birthday and in their weekly add they have a REMINGTON EXPRESS 12 gauge on sale for $260.00 (after rebate) and a STOEGER STF 3000 O/U for $350.00 (after rebate). Obviously, the O/U looks nicer but I just spent an hour on shotgun forums and some of these have had some real problems with ejectors and light strikes/ftf. Since this is my first shotgun, I am leaning towards the 870 because it has so many good reports. Also, I can always get a short barrel for the 870 and use it for HD if I want? Hopefully, I will have something for the Jackson shotgun shoot? Also, on the Remington web site, it says the barrel is a Vent Rib Rem Choke (mod). Does this mean that is has a fixed modified choke or does it mean that the choke that is comes with is a modified and you can change it to others? If it is fixed, can I use a modified choke for shooting clays?

Jon, please post a picture when you get a chance.

I also thought it looked a lot like my Storm, which I like a lot.

I have used Ranier in my 9mm and they load and shoot very well.

Tony, wish I could be there but my son and daughter-in-law are coming over and we are doing the birthday thing so I am tied up. Maybe another weekend, I still have not made it out to Dix yet?
