Meh... 3rd in BSP. Ernie was trailing me all day then shot into 1st in the last heat. My buddy then overtook me in his heavily modified E46 M3 and put me into 3rd for the class. I did get to try out my new GoPro camera at the event though! wpOLjOpvQvw

An old man once said, one cannot buy whats not for sale. :twisted:

Yes, the very same one! Its a great shooter, although thats no surprise being a swiss gun but i'm defintely enjoying shooting this gun.

you DO understand that Christie, while republican is NOT A FRIEND to Gun Owners...right? Christie did say if the legislature put a bill on his desk to repeal the one gun a month, he would sign it. I did hear him say that on NJ202'5, but the legislation would have to take the first step which is unlikely. He did shrug off the issue of CCW permit income the caller also brought up which i was very interested to see what his response would have been.

Earlier in the day i was trying to "finish off" a cantelope Lunker left behind. Problem was, i only had surplus FMJ for my K31 which was just piercing clean though rather than blow it to smithereens like the HP's Chad was firing out of his Remmy. Anyways, since the K31 was scoped and a real tackdriver, i realized all i could do was "paint" a face on it, Riggs style. Also that day, i was trying to inflict some more damage on my home made steel "gong" target--a 1" steel place but not hardened Brinnell armor. It got pocked up pretty good and i rained about 100rds of .223 on it at the 200yd mark. The hits were scattered but with some more practice, i'd like to try to just drill through it by jsut concentrating on hitting it in the same spot with a few hundred rounds. Or.... maybe a few hits with some M855 would do it in? And Chad, Shane and the others interested in a cheap armor plate gong, here is the plate i ordered from Wideners hanging from a piece of 6' rebar bent into a simple frame.

Even though there was a bit of a wait for some, there was something to be learned of this: Only go to dix in the afternoon! Forget the weekends when all the crowds have the tables locked up with a waiting list out the door, the weekdays are where its at! By 3-4 pm, half the firing line was empty and by 6'clock, it was pretty much just NJGF! Since Chad was shooting HP's though his 22-250, it was literally raining coconut like Maks said. I was shooting a cantelope with FMJ that Lunker left behind and it was just piercing though with no drama. Those HP's, OTOH, just decimate the fruit! I really like the stock on NJPilot's 700. The grip has some serious substance to it and very comfortable for my big hands. I never considered a 700 but may keep it in mind for a future purchase.

Groovy pics Chaddio! :ugeek: i dont remember meeting him today, which one is he?

Could you imagine if they came to your door, held out a little flowery pillow case and said, "hand 'em over!"

They are supposed to start their friday hours soon but I'm not positive when that is. I recall it may be this friday, 4/2 but not sure as its a holiday for some. Can't find ther website anymore, does anyone have the scoop?

I think some spanish mausers and Astra's would be more appropriate. :twisted:

lowes barrel rack? Was it for broomsticks or something?

Even though a quarter is made of thin, flimsy metal, would be a cheap, long-lasting target for me. I'm sure i would wear out a 500 brinell plate before i could ever hit a quarter at 200 yards. Lessee... a quarter, a coat hanger and a piece of fishing line makes for a cheap target and stand. I think we have a NJGF official challenge!

I went ahead and ordered a 8x8" square for $55 shipped from Wideners which should be here soon. I have stand made out of a piece of rebar bent in an upside-down "U" shape that i used for my last makeshift "gong" and can transfer it to that. With a couple bucks in hardware, a piece of 6' rebar and the gong, i have a nice target for $60 which is a far cry from the $150-300 units being sold online. Granted, my version is much more simple but that's sufficient for me as i'm not looking for a popper or other type of complex action target. Mine is just a simple hanging swinger that doesn't need any sort of reset which is a lot more useful when its 200 yards away!

Now that it seems everyone has become a Dix member, next time there should be ample guest passes to bring half the forums. lol I brought my makeshift steel gong target but proceeded to mostly shoot the bracket that holds the steel plate to the stand. :| The rifle i was using was sighted/scoped for 100yds and was guestimating the Kentucky windage to nail it which i mostly did but with too many hits to the stuff the held it together so it eventually just gave out and fell over. Shame too because it would ring pretty good if you hit it and the range was silent enough to hear it!

Here's a nice rack for your pistols. For this price it should spawn a new gun whenever one is removed from a slot though. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/prod ... id/4115030

A fellow OSU alum! 6.5 hrs is def record time. I rented a car once to transport myself and a bunch of stuff one spring break and i logged my best time ever somewhere in the 7 hour range from Red Bank. What years did you attend (95-99 here)?

A real something alright.

Nice view. Party at rifleman's house this weekend!

always check these sites for a pricing reference: http://www.ammoengine.com http://www.gun-deals.com/ammo

I bought a few bricks some time ago during the rush when there was no popular brands available. they shoot fine in my 10/22 and are packed in nice 50-rd trays to avoid them getting all banged up like a lot of bulk is. They are kinda stinky though when you shoot them--A strong sulfurous smell kinda like wolf centerfire ammo.

Ammoman has a case of 900 on sale for 199 shipped. This is brass cased yugo ammo--real decent surplus. The next best deal i could find for this is at the sportsmans guide for ~$50 more. Of course, he won't ship in nj (even rifle ammo) but you can pick it up and he knocks off $10 since there's no shipping fee. http://www.ammoman.com/webstore_8mm.htm

Matt, did you know that lunker has a picket fence encircling his yard made entirely out of rare, unissued 1939 pre-production Sako M39's? The same fence made out of pure rapper-grade platinum would have cost less. Its truly a sight to see.

I'm not really totally sure. We wander through the state forests down in the pine barrens usually getting lost exploring various trails and then finding our way out eventually.

Since the camera attaches to your helmet, it gains stability from your head and body's natural motion damping. mounting it hard to the vehicle would result in a lot of vibration.

What is their policy for firearm coverage? Do they only cover $xx dollars with the promary policy and stipulate a rider for additional coverage or is it all covered from the one policy? Do they require a full inventory be submitted for the firearms to be covered?
