222

NY, Connecticut, Maryland. I agree unless if other states see a reversal, momentum will hit NJ for sure.

I stopped by Dick's in Paramus this morning. No ammo. Buy they had 2 11vt, which look like the same heavy barrel and accutrigger, in a black synthetic instead of accustock. I should have it next week. I'll break it in, zero the bundled scope, and let you know how it does on cheap ammo I have.

I sent NJ ACLU inviting them to oppose the NJ bill using terrorist watchlist. It should not be difficult since national ACLU opposes terrorist watch list on due process and other concerns. This week I got a nice form letter in the mail saying they won't be taking up the issue because they have limited resources and higher priorities.

Yeah I'll boycott after that bill passes, after I'm done stockpiling.

All these guns are like 50+ year old technology. Cordite packed in brass, expelling copper-coated lead. pfffft so last millenium. Where is my phaser?!? Shoot the intruder on "stun" setting.

Few folks take advantage of the full facility. They mostly come in, hit 1 or 2 parts, then leave. My first year or so I mostly spent my time on the 22lr plinking range, especially during those spring and fall days when it's nice and warm under the sunshine, and a tad chilly under the covered roof of the rifle and pistol ranges. It's also one of the few places around you'll see a 200/300 yard range, if you ever grow that collection to include a centerfire rifle.

looks like they read the coverage that "entitites" was misspelled, and fixed it in an update. (looks like a Freudian slip there..)

What ryan_j said.

I'm wondering, for a situation like this, if a revolver wouldn't be a better choice than a semi-automatic. Seem easier to clean. Never have to remember if one is in chamber. Never wonder how many rounds are left in magazine. A cocked hammer is big sign gun is ready-to-go. I am not partial to semiautomatics myself, and I don't have much experience with revolvers. But for a late adopter, they seem ideal. Learning to disassemble, clean and re-assemble my first few SAs (ruger 10/22 and mk3) took a few tries. Then again, she might end up being partial to shotguns.

The sections regarding "Hollow Point" is 39-3f. Possession is illegal (4th degree crime). Exception is as previously discussed. Use is not listed in section. Whereas use is not listed as a crime, and possession is covered under exception, does that answer your question? http://law.onecle.co...stice/39-3.html f. Dum-dum or body armor penetrating bullets. (1) Any person, other than a law enforcement officer or persons engaged in activities pursuant to subsection f. of N.J.S.2C:39-6, who knowingly has in his possession any hollow nose or dum-dum bullet, or (2) any person, other than a collector of firearms or ammunition as curios or relics as defined in Title 18, United States Code, section 921 (a) (13) and has in his possession a valid Collector of Curios and Relics License issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, who knowingly has in his possession any body armor breaching or penetrating ammunition, which means: (a) ammunition primarily designed for use in a handgun, and (b) which is comprised of a bullet whose core or jacket, if the jacket is thicker than.025 of an inch, is made of tungsten carbide, or hard bronze, or other material which is harder than a rating of 72 or greater on the Rockwell B. Hardness Scale, and © is therefore capable of breaching or penetrating body armor, is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree. For purposes of this section, a collector may possess not more than three examples of each distinctive variation of the ammunition described above. A distinctive variation includes a different head stamp, composition, design, or color.

I stopped by Dick's in Rockaway today. They had an 11vt in 22-250 for $549. Looked real nice, except the stock looked a little cheap. I decided to pass. I think their 22-250 has 1:12 twist rate, which I am not too sure about for a 224 bullet. The guy told me, for anything in 223, check back in July.

The $17k isn't buying you bullet drop calculations. It is buying windage. Trackingpoint package is specific to a rifle and caliber, so bullet drop and wind coefficient is preconfigured. For a normal scope to know elevation adjustments over distance, it would need to know bullet drop, which means hardcoding bullet grain, powder. Even then it wouldn't be able to adjust for elevation adjustments due to wind.

I imagine in a few years systems like this would be strapped to drones, so instead of a Hellfire missile they can shoot a bullet from a few miles away. In terms of calculating windage, atmospheric scintillation science has been around for a few decades. Computers already beat humans at chess and Jeopardy. Calculating a firing solution is trivial by comparison. Really the $17k is to pay for the first adopter costs. The cost to produce subsequent units are greatly reduced.

Oh heck I was just being facetious. A man can do worse than be too busy with Guns and Golf. But if you are really interested I'm asking below trade-in value, and we can talk details over PM. Second week of April should start seeing temperatures above 50, so I was just about getting ready to plug the battery back in, de-winterize it, and start commuting with it again.

Anyone wanna buy my motorcycle (2003 SV650S) so they can join in the ride? With Guns and Golf, I don't have much time left over for Motorcycle.

If you are looking for a .22 for "mini-sniper", I would recommend picking up a Kimber 82g Rusty from Civilian Marksmanship Program while they are still available. http://www.odcmp.com/Sales/22targetsurplus.htm I am still working out what is ammo it likes. This is 100yards.

He did? I didn't read his book, but cool-beans. During the ANJRPC orientation, the rifle or pistol club exception was mentioned in passing, without much details. I was like "huh?" at the time, so I looked it up afterwards. The club exception not just for HPs, but also applies to 2C:39-5 Unlawful possession of weapons b (handguns) c (rifles and shotguns) and d (other weapons). http://law.onecle.com/new-jersey/2c-the-new-jersey-code-of-criminal-justice/39-5.html

Actual exemptions section. Understandably, it is confusing. For example, 26:39-6f-1 (rifle or pistol club exception) is fairly similar to 26:39-6f-3b (target range exception), unless if you try to make the case that "place of target practice" under 6f-1 can be broader and more encompassing than "target range", such as private land where firearm discharge is not disallowed. http://law.onecle.com/new-jersey/2c-the-new-jersey-code-of-criminal-justice/39-6.html f. Nothing in subsections b., c. and d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent: (1) A member of any rifle or pistol club organized in accordance with the rules prescribed by the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, in going to or from a place of target practice, carrying such firearms as are necessary for said target practice, provided that the club has filed a copy of its charter with the superintendent and annually submits a list of its members to the superintendent and provided further that the firearms are carried in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section; (2) A person carrying a firearm or knife in the woods or fields or upon the waters of this State for the purpose of hunting, target practice or fishing, provided that the firearm or knife is legal and appropriate for hunting or fishing purposes in this State and he has in his possession a valid hunting license, or, with respect to fresh water fishing, a valid fishing license; (3) A person transporting any firearm or knife while traveling: (a) Directly to or from any place for the purpose of hunting or fishing, provided the person has in his possession a valid hunting or fishing license; or (b) Directly to or from any target range, or other authorized place for the purpose of practice, match, target, trap or skeet shooting exhibitions, provided in all cases that during the course of the travel all firearms are carried in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section and the person has complied with all the provisions and requirements of Title 23 of the Revised Statutes and any amendments thereto and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; or © In the case of a firearm, directly to or from any exhibition or display of firearms which is sponsored by any law enforcement agency, any rifle or pistol club, or any firearms collectors club, for the purpose of displaying the firearms to the public or to the members of the organization or club, provided, however, that not less than 30 days prior to the exhibition or display, notice of the exhibition or display shall be given to the Superintendent of the State Police by the sponsoring organization or club, and the sponsor has complied with such reasonable safety regulations as the superintendent may promulgate. Any firearms transported pursuant to this section shall be transported in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section; (4) A person from keeping or carrying about a private or commercial aircraft or any boat, or from transporting to or from such vessel for the purpose of installation or repair a visual distress signaling device approved by the United States Coast Guard.

I would love to hear how your load development progresses. Are you thinking to try a 55 grain for that 1:9? For me, if I can get <.75 MOA at 100/200/300 out of factory match 223, I think I'll probably be happy. The part I worry about is, so much of the factory match 223 seem to be 69, 75 and 77 grains, maybe I should be looking at 1:7 twists if I plan to rely upon factory loads.

Are you hand loading for cost and availability considerations? Or do you feel the quality of factory load 223 ammo lacking, compared to what the rifle is capable of? Cabelas has a varminter from Savage for $750 with accutrigger and accustock, but I decided against it because the barrel isn't heavy. Dicks has a 11vt for $599, including acutrigger, heavy barrel and scope. Stock looks cheap, but I am considering to pick that one, since I am just starting out.

I plan to shoot prone and bench, off rest, bags and bipod. Distances 100, 200 and 300.

For a 223. I am looking for a shooter out-of-box, not to customize it afterwards. Wondering if anyone has experience with either and would like to share. For the 10, I am thinking FCP-K to try out the accu-stock and accu-trigger. Magazine is detachable box, but I am not sure if I can purchase additional magazines. For the 12, I am thinking the 12 BVSS (4 round internal) and 12 F/TR (single-shot).

I would say take a look at the list first to see if there's something that catches your eye Or drop Bob and Edna an email to see if something you are interested in is in stock. His inventory is in a few places, so working out things in advance might save you a trip. I picked up my wind flags, front and back rest recently. Been real happy with them all.

"A Cuomo administration source is flatly denying the governor’s claim that his new anti-gun SAFE Act was carefully drafted, saying the governor himself wasn’t even aware of some provisions when it was hastily enacted into law. “The governor thought the limit on the size of [gun] magazines would only apply to assault-style rifles, not to handguns,’’ said the source. “That’s why there’s the big problem now with handguns, among other things in the statute.’’ The legal sale of virtually all semiautomatic handguns will soon be impossible because Cuomo’s law limits the size of bullet-holding magazines to seven shots, virtually none of which are manufactured for sale. “Much of what’s in the law was drafted by people connected to Mayor Bloomberg and the Brady Center, not by the governor’s staff,” the source said. “That’s why there are so many problems with it.’’" Bloomberg response: "What did we do, put a gun to their head, if you pardon the pun, and force them to write legislation?" he said, during a press conference in Brooklyn about helping the unemployed get jobs. "Is that the allegation? That we were up there with automatic weapons with expanded capacity magazines forcing them to write a bill?" http://www.nypost.co...lJPk96ayylaRAGL http://www.capitalne...bucket-headline
