I have a neighbor in mind... I should ask my local PD if it's allowed...

Very good possibility of that happening.

That's my opinion if you're hunkering down and trying to weather the storm. If you're on the move and can't take time for properly placed shots, something with a little stopping power will give you more time to get to your safehouse.

Echo, LMK when you plan on running etown again. I'd love to get some seat time on their road course in the vette.

I have these thin profile muffs, and love em: http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-R-01526-Electronic-Earmuff/dp/B001T7QJ9O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1284321215&sr=8-2

Beaver Run's one track: NJMP available tracks: In my worthless opinion, NJMP looks like it's the better track. I have not raced on either, though.

Gotta factor in the hotel, fuel to get there, trailer to get home if you break, food, drinks, etc. When it's all said and done the cost is about even. Not to mention NJMP appears to have a much better track.

Fine, I'd rather not add the extra weight and size of an 8 round magazine tube to a gun that can't have more than 3 rounds in it. Happy?

I'd rather run NJMP.

Newer ones, yes absolutely. The older ones from the 90s or earlier were built like tanks, though.

Ah, ok. I see what you mean now. I would like to replace the Sears with a quality O/U somewhere down the line to take bird/trap/skeet duty. As for HD vs deer/bear gun, my initial thought process was to save some cash by buying the mossberg. Re-thinking it though, makes me want to plan for two 870s. Good suggestion.

I vote this:

A very good point. I will certainly want to try several different full-sized 9mm in order to find the one that works best for me. Extended magazine tube on my hunting rig would look very silly. Plus I wouldn't want to have to take apart my HD gun every time I want to go deer hunting.

Night Of The Living Dead Slow Zombies: Staying home since precision head shots wins this game. 1) Marlin 925 (bolt) in .22 WMR for the future wife, Marlin 795 (auto) in .22lr for me. 2) Ruger Speed Six for the future wife, 1911 for me unless I sell it before the outbreak, in that case Browning Hi Power. 3) Since I'm staying home I have my full ammo stock available. Total available round count(in the above calibers) is roughly 9000 rounds altogether Rage Infected Dawn Of The Dead Fast Zombies: Plan is to join up with my parents, and hopefully get together with the in-laws(not a priority though, as my parents have an arsenal similar to mine and her parents are unarmed) and make our way to my hunting cabin in the Pine Barrens. Once there, knock down trees across the entrance pathway and take up a rotating watch from the attic(cabin can be easily defended by 2 people at a time). 1) Hope to have 2 identical 5.56 ARs built before the outbreak(one for me and one for fiance), until then it's Swiss K31 for me, Marlin 795 (.22lr auto) for woman. 2) HK USPc in 9mm for me(until I get a full-sized 9mm... currently deciding what I want), Browning Hi Power for wifey. 3) All the ammo we can carry

I'd like to stick with bolt action. Eventually I'd love to go to that sniper school out west to learn how to hit a target @ 1k yards.

Never hunted there, but would be happy to join you. I work a rotating schedule which leaves lots of free weekdays. Sending you a PM.

Not a store, gun show.

Another vote for Stihl/Husqvarna. Can't go wrong with either.

Got a wedding to plan/pay for. After that the real preparation begins. For right now the ammo and weaponry is being stocked.

Gaining 1.5" is worth it for the extra round IMO.

I had considered it, but I'd like my "battle rifle" to be light with a shorter barrel. I also already have a 5.56 lower, plus the cost for an ar-10 variant is pretty high. Just out of curiosity how accurate would a 16" semi-auto .308 be?

Sounds good. Yanks I would love to send a few rounds through your 226 if we can get together at the range some day. I will edit the list. B)
