Yep, I agree. Plus they're simple and safe, and they go BANG! every time.

My wife and son know. My brother-in-law in FL knows. 2 of my neighbors know (retired LEO and current CO). Friends I shoot with know. A couple of fellow enthusiasts at work know. The Sergeant who processes my apps knows (we talk about shooting every time I see him). All of you know. Anyone else doesn't need to know jack s&$t about my business.

If one of those is available locally, we should rent it for the First Annual NJGF Barbeque & Shooting Match. K

Last time I was in Tractor Supply they had a couple of gun safes. I don't remember the brand, but I think the price range was right around where you need to be.

Welcome from Sussex County.

I keep hearing good things about CJRP and Dix, but they're both a long way from Newton. 2 hours or more behind the wheel each way is enough to take the fun out of anything. K

Kinda figured. I don't know if that's good or bad. On one hand, it's nice to participate here with all of you lovely folk, but I may be crossing over the line from enthusiastic to obsessive. :? K

I've only been a member at Cherry Ridge, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. The people are nice, and the range has a lot to offer. I've shot at indoor ranges in FL, and didn't care for them. Noisy and claustrophobic. I don't know if the indoor locations in NJ are like that, and I'm not conveniently close to any of them to find out. As I shoot more, and become more comfortable with the guns, I'd like to try other things. CR doesn't allow draw and fire, rapid fire exercises, or shooting anything but paper targets. I think I'd like to try some of that, and CR isn't the right place for that. A little more variety would be nice. I may drop in on one of the IDPA matches at Shongum and see if I like that. K

Is there a prize for first place? Or just the phone # of an addiction support group? K

Yep, me too.

I think he's pretty much talked himself into the .223. This will be his first rifle, and he's been doing some research on it. It seems that from what he's read, the .223 is a better shooter than the other Saiga choices, and I think he may be just a bit intimidated by the larger round. Just as well, since I'm thinking of a .223 bolt action for myself in the near future, and it seems to make sense to stick with a single caliber at this point, especially if we eventually get into reloading K

Welcome to the group.

Thanks. I called around locally, and the only bit of optimism was at Silver Bullet in Rockaway. They're possibly expecting a couple in next week, but have no more details than that. I may have to take a ride south this week. Ken

Thanks. Anyone know if any of the NJ shops have them in stock? He's one of those "instant gratification" types. K

Hello and welcome to the group.

Mike, Welcome from Sussex County.

Here's the 2009 version, straight out of S&W's Pro division, and tuned for competition.

I meant to answer sooner, but I needed to find my post from an older, similar thread. I'm basically a lazy, hunt & peck typist, so if I can reuse content, I'll gladly do it. Ken

It's funny... it doesn't look as out of proportion in person, and it balances and points really well for me. We'll see if I'm still lusting for it when the permits come in. I tend to distract easily. K

I keep going back to this one. I've fondled it in person, and it wants to come home with me. Just waiting for permits to clear. Info here: http://www.taurususa.com/products/product-details.cfm?id=266&category=Revolver K

Welcome from the Northern Frontier.

Jordan has decided to jump in and look for an AK type in .223. He's thinking about a Saiga. They're relatively inexpensive and seem to be available. Any opinions, pro or con, or alternatives, or local sources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Ken

Welcome to the group.

Thanks. I think I understand some of the variables. K
