It's official Shane. We have a love/hate relationship, and right now I hate you!

...... massive amounts of drool ...... I have a Savage Model 10 Precision Carbine that is far more accurate then I am. I enjoy it

Congrats indeed!! I'm sure there will be many other purchases in your near future. Please don't hesitate to post them as well, regardless of the haters

Anyone... Anyone... Bueller?

Every time I've gone on a Saturday, by noon you can hardly walk around the tables it gets so crowded. If you're planning on going Saturday, get there no later then 9:30am. That way you can make one whole circuit (or 2) before noon, and only double back only if you need to... My $0.02

I have the carbine length MOE hand guards... They are very good at what they were designed for - light, rugged, alternative to standard hand guards. Mine have a slight side to side play, but so did the original M4 hand guards. In your case with a HBAR I would go the free float route. Just my opinion.

I use Peltor 32NRR corded ear plugs that work really well. I use them for my .308 as well as 14.5" AR (which is significantly louder then the .308 report). I can usually get through 5 or 6 range trips before I replace them.

Were you going to Square Circle with a friend who is a member? If you ever want to go over for a look around, a few of us here on the board are members as well. So just lmk.

How was it? Did you have a good time?

+1 on a Savage .308 for a long range...

I have a Taurus PT1911 that is a great shooter right out of the box. It has a lot of the "bells and whistles" of the more expensive 1911's, but not at an outrageous price. I've put a lot of rounds through it, have had zero issues, and it's my most accurate/favorite handgun to shoot.

Pistol is only 25yards or 50 yard They have backers to staple target to, however you can not place a target except at the designated spots (25, 50, 75, 100yd for rifle). I would not bring the swingers, as I doubt you could use them.

Buy all the ammo your car can handle..... and then buy an extra bandoleer - just in case!

Just to get a good mental picture here of what you are trying to accomplish, are you thinking about something like this? From reading your posts this is what my brain did: Progress through the course, while using cover, and never have to shoot back facing the way you came (as that would create a 2-way range for the next guy in line). Targets are move-able so you can could change the quantity on one side or other, or move them to a different section entirely. I put a lot of targets at the end because that is where the "horde" was, and figured numerous reloads would be entertaining :twisted:

Anyone a member at Hutton Hill Range in Winslow, NJ?? I would be interested in having a look around. I tried sending an e-mail to the address listed on the website but have not received a response. Thanks!

Ha... Although it's no so much the rifle as it's the way I shoot it

While I'm focusing my comment on only a small portion of what bbk said, his entire post is worth repeating and re-reading above. That being said, in addition to "On Killing" I would also recommend "On Combat" by the same author - Grossman. Read them both! Their are some crazy instances of what the body and mind are capable of under extreme stress, that anyone owning a firearm as a SD/HD weapon should be aware of. For instance (paraphrasing): "FBI agent was shot and killed after he fired a double-tap at a suspect and then promptly re-holstered. Muscle memory took over during this incident, and the agent did exactly what he trained over and over at the firing range - 2 shots, re-holster, repeat. Even after being hit the suspect managed to return fire and kill the agent." "A cop was shot and killed off duty after he disarmed a suspect during an attempted robbery, and then handed the weapon back to the perp!! When he practiced disarms with his partner and wife, he would hand back the weapon after successfully taking the weapon away. Again muscle memory and training, he was shot and killed only after giving the gun back." So as bbk states, nothing can replace solid training. Just owning a firearm is truly not enough if the lives of you or your loved ones could ever be in jeopardy. It's not all about accuracy and slow fire....

HA! Well played sir, well played

I forgot about the water bottle....

Anyone who is not a resident of NJ, yes. You do NOT want to be in possession of a magazine (rifle/pistol) that can accept more then 15 rounds. Some dealers here in NJ will do the modifications to the mags for you, but you "can't" own one before the mod is done. As stated above you can read up on how to do it yourself, just make sure you ship the mags to a friend in PA, and do the work before you come back over the border to the People's Republic...

I don't own a firearm that my wife can't shoot, handle, or manipulate confidently, and with accuracy. Therefore, with a 12 gauge shotgun being a practical solution for home defense (as are pistol/rifles. etc.) it would make sense to ensure she is able to fire it. This applies both to the length of pull as well as managing recoil for follow up shots. Hence why the Knoxx was a perfect solution. So for some it is not so much scary recoil or pain, as it is properly managing a weapon to fit ones needs.

Boo - poll is not working for me. Milled AK +1. Nothing beats a classic

I've had the same conversation with my wife at least twice in the last 3 months. We looked around North of Scranton. Good prices, lots of land, but school systems suck.... SBR w/30rd PMag suppressed or "future" child's education? decisions decisions
