Recommend A Value Priced Scope
Konus makes a great scope for a good price. My LGS Lous in Raritan recommended it and I am very happy. PS It is one of the reasons I recommend Lous in Raritan. They are not out to just make a buck and but take time to provide solutions to your needs. After the Rem 700 recall they even bore sighted my rifle again too.

Cx4 Storm? Opinions?
Let me clarify. Didn't mean 45 acp vs 9mm in general, but specific to the CX4 storm rifle platform.

My Rant of the day on mag limits bill A2006/S993
I forgot the emails. Justing venting. Thanks for setting the record right. I wish we could get some "fair-balance" in the Star Ledger. Every night it is the same old story, "Governor needs to sign this cause 10 round magazines saves lives".

What is the best caliber 45 or 9mm?

My Rant of the day on mag limits bill A2006/S993
Star Ledger keeps publishing letters and editorials pushing Christie to sign the Bills. I have called and written my elected officials repeatedly. Maybe I am off base but our advocacy groups seem to be very low key on this. Can't NJ2AS and NRA help more? Never was political but after following this it really makes you question the process in NJ. I will "vote" with the moving wagon and my tax dollars. Took a week off and worked started home shopping in Florida.

Remington 700 Recall ......
Got it back with the Badger Picatinny rail still on it. Was worried but the Remington Customer Service rep was right it was OK to leave it on. Looks like they replaced the trigger. The new one is also marked with a small punch mark to indicate it was "fixed". Also complained about the feeding and their gunsmith fixed it. It is now loads smooth a butter. It really is a great rifle. Just need to re-sight it again.

Remington 700 Recall ......
Rifle is being shipped back now (after 6 weeks). Supposed to get it Monday. Fingers are crossed. Another brand for me next time.

Remington 700 Recall ......
Folks who said to do the Timney were right. No reply from Remington yet. Got more annoyed after I figured out it took two weeks for boxes and labels, another two for them to check the rifle in and a month after that I don't have it back yet. Elapsed time is 8 weeks and counting. They offer 40% off a purchase at their online store for compensation. That is like "salt on the wound". Shouldn't have to buy more stuff from them to get compensated. Hope it comes back OK. Sent a letter to them, let's see what they say. Last Remington product for me.

Remington 700 Recall ......
Three weeks and no response yet. Others are in the same boat and getting pissed off. No way to handle a problem.

Sell or Ship?
Just before the ammo shortage I planned accordingly and stockpiled about 250 - 1500 rounds of each caliber for each firearm I own. It is about 6-7 plastic (50 caliber) ammo boxes in total. My wife and I are planning to move to Florida in about 6-9 months. I can use some of them at the range but will still have a lot left over. Would you mail them or try to go through the hassles of private sales? Anyone else been in a similar position? If I sell them what kind of prices would you charge, current mail order? I tended to buy good stuff based on ratings from Natchez.

S993/A2777 - Your Letter To Governor Christie
Called Christie's aide today and they said the information will be passed on. Sent a follow up email afterwards. Can't think of anything else.

Remington 700 Recall ......
Will keep you posted. Shipped Friday at UPS Hub and received by Remington Monday (4/28). Since I first called, one about week has elapsed for return box and labels. Good luck folks.

Thread slain by SCOTUS.
Agree HK 2000SK 9mm is perfecto

Is This the Last Revolver I'll ever Need? 627PC
I have the 627-5 Performance center. Wonderful revolver, balanced, great trigger and holds 8 rounds. Just bulky.

Remington 700 Recall ......
What a freakin hassle with UPS. First they tell me it is OK to pick it up at home. Then they say no way I have to go to a UPS store who tells me no way, I need to go to a hub. The guy in the local hub was great and tells me they could've picked it up at my home. Hope it comes back OK. I had to leave the picatinny rail on because the screws had loctite. Remington said it should be OK. I know I could have put a Timney on but didn't want to spring for the bucks. Anyway, just warning you all about UPS headaches if you ship yours back.

acceptable gun shop markup?
My LGS offers fair prices (about 10-15% off MSRP), great advice and will help you install items like rails and sights (bore sighting at no cost). They understand my requirements and help me find solutions not just push products. When you shop it is more like a consultation than a retail purchase.

Know of any 24 hour ranges?
Checko, Thank you. I stand corrected.

Remington 700 Recall ......
Mine is affected. Need to send it in. Hope they have gotten it right this time. Also noted that it doesn't feed that well. They don't say how fast the fix takes.

Anyone Ever Hurt Hand Pushing Semiauto Pistol Magazines Into Grip?
I developed a small painful red lump and swelling on my left palm near where my hand pushes pistol magazines into the grip. Maybe I have been using too much force when reloading? Anyone else have or hear of such an issue? Hope it is just a tendonitis and a didn't chip or break any bones. I shouldn't have watched so many action movies. Those folks slam their magazines in when they "lock and load." Input from LEOs or competitive target shooters would especially be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Browning BPS
They are smooth and beautiful but cleaning a Browning BPS is difficult. You need three hands. The owners manual says it should be done by a smith.
