My AR with a 16" barrel has done as well as 1 1/8" three shot groups @100 yds with factory 55 to 62 grain. I would think a bolt action .223/5.56 could do better than that. My Savage .308 does under an inch. And I suck, lol I would think a .223 bolt action would be one of the more accurate rifles available at shorter (300 yd) ranges. Blue1

Has anyone any experience with Freedom Munitions? I just received 250 rounds of .308 FMJ and 200 rounds of .45 ACP FMJ for $207 shipped. That's about $30 cheaper than anyplace else I've gone to. Blue1

OK, I checked and you're right, it is marked on the magnification ring, also at 12x, thanks!

I recently purchased a mildot reticle Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 scope. Is is correct to assume the mildots are calibrated for use at maximum magnification? Blue1

I'm interested in buying my first bolt action rifle and had my eyes on the Ruger American also. I'm reading different opinions about the American and some competitive offerings from Savage and others. I want decent performance as well as something that will last (I maintain my stuff well), while not spending a ton of money, upper budget of around $600, not counting optics. Opinions appreciated.

OK, makes sense about the more you want to buy the more it is "collecting". It would suck if someone inherited (for instance) a large gun collection and was forced to sell it piecemeal. Blue1

OK, but what would be an exemption to buy 40 handguns at one time? I would think that if you have no issues personally with the law, if you wanted to buy a matched pair of handguns and submitted for an exemption, they would have a hard time denying that. But 40? Blue1

e.Nothing in subsections b., c. and d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent a person keeping or carrying about his place of business, residence, premises or other land owned or possessed by him, any firearm, or from carrying the same, in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section, from any place of purchase to his residence or place of business, between his dwelling and his place of business, between one place of business or residence and another when moving, or between his dwelling or place of business and place where such firearms are repaired, for the purpose of repair. For the purposes of this section, a place of business shall be deemed to be a fixed location. I am not a lawyer either, but upon studying this closely, I believe you must own part or all of the business to legally transport and carry there. The portion "...shall be construed to prevent a person keeping or carrying about his place of business, residence, premises or other land owned or possessed by him..." doesn't say, "...place of business, residence, AND land owned or possessed by him..." Place of business, residence and premises are types of land you can own; those, as well as "...other land owned or possessed by him..." means those types of land you own and types not specifically your "place of business, residence, premises" that you own; an example would be a ten acres of woods. That is not a place of business, residence, or premises. It is a plot in the woods. That you must own to carry. If I was the prosecutor, that is the intent and wording of the law that I would argue. Besides, if everyone started carrying at work, the SWHTF and a decison would be defined really quick that would define only owners of businesses can carry. So this is kinda moot. Blue1

The laws are already on the books under transportation of handguns.

That doesn't say competition, bonafide gunshow, OR hunting exercise, it says competition, bonafide gunshow, hunting exercise, OR some other gun-related event. If I'm going to shoot at the range, I would consider that a gun-related event. It is is inarguably gun-related and...  /ɪˈvɛnt/ Show Spelled[ih-vent] Show IPA noun 1. something that happens or is regarded as happening; an occurrence, especially one of some importance. 2. the outcome, issue, or result of anything: The venture had no successful event. 3. something that occurs in a certain place during a particular interval of time. Seems that definition #1 and #3 defines an "event". My practice shooting at a range is something that will happen (satisfying definition #1) and it is also something the occurs when I plan on getting there. When I get there is the particular interval of time (satisfying definition #2). Blue1

So it would still be legal if I drilled and tapped several holes 1/2" apart? Blue1

How is it any different before the hole is drilled? With the bolt in, it is fixed, no matter what position it is in. Not trying to be argumentative, just playing devil's advocate.

The expression "pinned" has me a little confused. The stock is not actually pinned, as in located with a machinist's dowel pin. It is merely held together with a hex socket cap screw; as there is only one hole, it is not "adjustable". I have no desire to have an "adjustable" stock. I merely want to fit my firearm to me better than the arbitrary (short) factory placement. My plan is to unscrew the cap screw holding the stock to the buffer tube, determine where exactly I want it to be, drilling and tapping a hole in the appropriate spot, and reassembling. It would be nothing like the spring loaded locating pin design on other state's ARs that can be changed without tools by compressing the handle. I feel I could stay in the letter of the law by filling the other hole with epoxy, preventing it's future use, but I don't want to do that, it is lame and defacing a fine tool in my eyes. Blue1

I have a Jersey-legal Stag Model 2. I would like to extend the stock. If I remove it, drill and tap and reassemble with the cap screw, is that violating any NJ law? Blue1

Just picked up my first long gun, a Stag Model 2 5.56. Does is damage anything to dry fire this firearm? It appears that there is no way to decock, am I correct? Is it also normal that the safety can only be engaged when the hammer is cocked? How many rounds between complete bolt assembly tear down and cleaning? I will be firing commercially available ammo in common brands. Probably not much more than a hundred rounds at a time. Thanks, Blue1

I have a seven round capacity revolver, so I fill my ten and my nine round PX4 mags with seven rounds each, so I'm always shooting seven round groups. Blue1

Purchased the Leupold 3-9x40mm package, which included AR mount and lens caps. very happy with this decision, anything disappoints me, I will update. Thanks for all your help. Blue1

I've decided to go with quality on this and am seriously considering a Leupold 3-9x40 AR scope. Comes with mount and lens caps for about $400 shipped. Blue1

Use will be primarily at the range. Money isn't really an issue, I simply don't have such a critical use to justify spending a sh*tload of money on a scope. The Nikon looks good, but is on backorder at Midway, I'll look elsewhere. Blue1

Great, keep the opinions coming, thanks.

I am looking at some cheap glass for my first AR I'm picking up in a couple weeks, and have been looking at Aim Sport products. I realize this is not top-notch or mid-range equipment, but I'm a noob, and at these prices, if I keep them a season or two and learn anything from their use they are worth it. Does anyone have any first-hand experience with Aim Sport products? Thanks, Blue

Can someone explain to me why an optic would be optimized for a .22LR? Is it just a price point thing? Thanks, Blue1
