Gun purchases that left you kicking yourself...
yeah it worked out in the long run I think. I was just glad to get the all metal trigger assembly and the scope was like an added benefit. I still need to get some trigger time with it and see what kinda MOA I can get with it. It's more me than the gun preventing it from being dead on I think.

Gun purchases that left you kicking yourself...
I don't think I really have any regrets. My only regret would be buying a sub compact for a first gun but that was before I knew about this wonderful site so I can't complain to much. It's served its purpose and I'm selling it now to replace it with something a 100 times better. My only other disappointment sort of is my .22, I probably paid a little more than I should but I got the model that I wanted and it came with a scope so I'm not upset in the long run.

Beware there is no deal this week at dick's on the remington gun club ammo, that was last week just an fyi. But I wouldn't pay anymore than like 55 bucks plus tax for shotshell

Shotgun Opinion needed.
I'd personally go with the Remington. I absolutely love my remington, i have the 870 super mag express and I use it for clays But yeah your gun should have a removeable choke so you can swap chokes as needed for your style of shooting.

too lazy to edit Tim those different loads you brought were a kick. You'll definitely be getting your ear chewed off on load calcs when the 1911 arrives Im gonna need help. So thanks again for bringing them along. And Tom I'm not sure if I should be thanking you or hating you for bringing those cannons. My wrist is killing me, but none the less it was a blast!!

I'm so tired I don't even know if I'm making sentences so I'll keep it breif. Big thanks to Tim and Tammy for making the drive up. It was fantastic to finally meet you guys, and Tim, THANKS for the pointers my shooting improved 10 fold with those couple quick tips. Almost makes me want to break out my kahr and shoot it I must say though that I am spend and I am somewhat grateful to put the NJGF get together in the hands of the south for the next weekend. My brain is fried! Side note: keep your eyes peeled for the current CR members for a pm from me. I want to try and get some guys together to see what we can do with that trailer/trap thrower thing a ma jig in the next couple weeks. If we can make it happen, it could be fun! And now I'm going to take a 2 hour nap, so I can work through the night and still go to work tomorrow moring, BUH

Which 22? The 10/22?? Uh huhhhhhhhhhh, I don't know if they changed it on the newer style ones, but on the old style, where the barrel is attached to the receiver, the receiver is actually a blocked off square. So unless you have a boresnake, you have to carefully feed the rod up the barrel, and then get my big fat fingers inside that receiver to spin the brush on, then pull the brush through the barrel and repeat until its clean. I HATE it. I will be buying a boresnake in the near future.

Tony where are you coming from?????? I can make it from my door (10 minutes from the range) to my friends door in Annapolis, MD is 3-1/2 hours. Like they said, sunday morning, the beach craze is over you can make it from cape may to us in 2.5 hours TOPS.

Lasik anyone?
don't take this the wrong way but your statement of I should be able to see just as good as if i was wearing contacts. If thats the best they could do, I would be PIST. My eye site greatly improves from glasses to soft contacts and even more from soft contacts to hard contacts. Like I said, I probably would of gotten it done if my eyes were able to get done, but now that I havn't done it, I am kind of glad I didn't. I don't do well with uncertainty and not knowing if my eye sight would be ok or not would freak me out. Hope your eyes adjust to being equal and you have no problems!! And enjoy not wearing glasses, ugh that sounds so nice

Opinion on Gander Mtn Surplus Rifles
You drop the trigger assm and the whole shebang? The whole kit and caboodle. the first time I did it, it took me 2 hours to figure out how the damn thing went back together. Now every time I get faster. I'm kinda stuck at like 30 minutes now as I'm anal and go really slow with the barrel not wanting the rod to touch the barrel. On the 870, its literally, unscrew the barrel end thing, take off the barrel, pop the two push pins, that slides out the trigger assembly. And then you can pretty much clean everything without going farther. If you really want to be anal you can take the pump assembly off and clean all those little parts. I'll do that again in a couple months, I plan to do it every 6 months. Clean it all up, put it together, do a couple of cycles as a double check, and in to the bag it goes. Now my .22 on the other hand without a boresnake is an easy hour

cleaning a gun is part of owning a gun. Plus its a shotgun, its beyond easy to disassemble and reassemble. 30 minutes tops and I'm done. I usually clean my gun after every use but I won't clean mine until tomorrow night, we didn't shoot enough today
