Budget build is getting a bit pricier. I bought a Giesle SSA-E two stage trigger on sale for 189.99 shipped (that's about 40 bucks off) and a whisper spring for 130 bucks at midway. I like the gun so much I thought I'd make some strategic upgrades.

I need to adjust the gas block. It's really accurate, makes a helluva bang too. Once I get it setup right I"ll give it a proper report. If you're in the area where is shoot you can absolutely fire it yourself.

I thought it was 28 but will check. As far as weight goes--it seemed really heavy compared to the others I held. Even the guy with the gun commented that it weighed a lot and he has lots of shotguns. The gun is prob 40 yrs old and looks really clean.

It'll be my first shotgun. I'm not much of a hunter but would like to take advantage of my proximity to the clay place in Fairfield.

Dedicated skeet gun. I live about 2.5 miles from the range in Fairfield and have never gone and I've always wanted to try. Now my wife wants to try it too. I'm not sure of the distances there but it seems to be pretty short range shooting--I could be wrong because I've never walked on the range and I've never shot skeet. Thanks.

Ottomanelli's had a bunch and just got a bunch more. They are next to the WP range.

I want to shoot at the clay range in Fairfield, NJ and have an opportunity to get a browning citori o/u 20 guage for a good price. My question is will this be a good gun for this use?

I went to woodland park today. I'd gave gone to the ridge if I knew anyone was going. Did you end up there?

Thanks I thought I was going nuts. I might be anyway

Someone in the forum is selling Varget--check the marketplace. I must be losing my mind because I just checked and it wasn't there. I could have sworn that there was a 4 or 8lb jug for sale.

I'm good either way.

The sage looks great but I'm not sure after it's been NJ neutered how much you will still like it. It's a semi auto rifle with a pistol grip which means that stock needs to be pinned as well as a non-flash hiding muzzle device. No different for the AR10 but I guess when it comes to ARs I've accepted my fate.

Awesome.

Where are you located? I would do 2-4 lbs of Lil gun but I can't travel far.

beautiful scope, it costs twice as much as my rifle!

What scope do you have on it?

Savage 17hmr is a sweet rifle with great trigger

Hopefully.

300 Blackout. .

Here's the rifle.

That's an A2 flash hider. Is it pinned and welded? Even if it is change it to a muzzle brake (compensator). They run from 30 bucks to 200 bucks. Your freedom is worth more. The bayonet lug isn't removed either and if that's a 30 round mag that isn't legal either. The stock doesn't appear to be pinned in place as well. I'd get this to a reputable gun smith for NJ appropriate neutering. There's no way that is an NJ legal rifle.

I really appreciate it and if you get over there and see some Lil' Gun or 1680 I'd gladly buy some. I also hope to take this rifle hog hunting when I get it where I want it. So far for target shooting it's fantastic. Hopefully we'll get some folks in this thread contributing or at least learning. Cheers, Rob

I looked at the mcree and honestly I had a helluva time deciding on which way to go. I wouldn't mind getting to squeeze a couple off. I'm glad you like it. What led me down the path to these two were the having a full chassis and not gaining as much weight as the AICS.

I've tried a few different loads based on 147 gr FMJBT and 155 gr BTHP and I've good accuracy. My brass is mixed head stamp, resized .223 brass and all primers have been cci 450 but will use some wolf too. 147 FMJBT Nosler 17, 17.2 and 17.4 grains of H110 COL 2.220" All three shot well (accurate) with no signs of pressure at all. Ill probably stick with the 17.2 gr h110. 155 gr HPBT Nosler 17 grains of H110 COL 2.220" Shot very nicely with a crisp snap. This load is 1.1 grain above the hornady manual for max load. I had no signs of pressure or extractor marks on brass. I assume hornady is conservative on their charts but will back it down to 16 grains. I fired all of these at a 50 yard range at Woodland Park. Today I'm going to try and make subsonic and supersonic rounds. I don't have any Lil gun but will try it with h110. I have 245 gr RNFP Missouri bullets. From what I've read follow 225 SMK loads as a start for the cast lbullets. I am going to try 8.4 or 8.5 grains of H110 at 2.09-2.12 COL for a try at subsonic and for supersonic I've seen recipes that run from 9.8-11.6 gr H110 with a COL 2.12". Since there isn't much data out there I thought I'd start this thread for all of us 300 lovers to collaborate. Yes one day with my 300 and I love it. I may even sell my grendel. Thanks to Bill for sending me some load data via email. I have bullets in 30 caliber in the following: 110 grain round nose plated, 150 grain FMJBT Hornady, 155 grain BTHP Nosler, 168 grain FMJBT Nosler, 245 grain RNFP lead Missouri Bullets.
