So let's say I was going to the Oaks Gun Show next weekend, I as an NJ rez couldn't buy a long gun from a private seller since I am not from PA? Or am I missing what you're saying (which is more than likely the case)

Good move. In September of 2015 I was riding the Harley to work. I was in Jackson behind a car flirting between 45- 50mph in a 50 zone. It was annoying me so I went ahead drop a gear and ripped by him. Well I ripped by a cop at 75mph as I was completing the pass. I pulled right over because he started pulling out. The cop was cool and told me that Jackson running a "program" that if they pulled someone over they HAD TO issue a summons of some sort. So he issued my a summons for delaying traffic which is a non-moving violation. Well I still got hit on my insurance. The insurance companies use reporting agencies that collect abstract info from DMV. That reporting agency classifies it as a moving violation so I get hit on my insurance. My insurance company specifies what the agency is. For a year and a half I have been trying to get my report from that agency so I can dispute it. After following multiple procedures over and over I have yet to get it. The attorney will make sure this is on the up and up for you.

Thanks for the replies. It's definitely something I am treading lightly with but wanted the info to carry on with.

Did a search on my title and I did not find anything. Is there an age where kids can shoot in NJ? Or is this at a ranges discretion. Was thinking about introducing a 12 yo to shooting a 22. Gives me (another) reason to buy a Ruger 10/22 as well LOL! I would have them take a class to start.

Oh man, sorry it's the hunter x22 not Backpacker x22. Here's the link anyway https://www.amazon.com/Magpul-Industries-Hunter-Stock-Design/dp/B00YXZGZTS/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486044275&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=magpul+backpack+x22

I've been eyeing the 10/22 takedown as my first rifle. I actually like the stock "stock" and color combo black/satin. However this Magpul stock is pretty cool

Quick search in stock at Midway $113 EDIT: Amazon has it from Magpul for $107

Guys, guys, guys! Can't we all just eat pork roll together as one happy gun lovin' family???

I live in Ocean and that's a rumor. We only do that between Memorial Day and Labor Day, the rest of the year is cousin kissing free.

Wawa sells PORK ROLL and cheese, not TAYLOR HAM and cheese. Wawa is awesome and is multi state. PORK ROLL wins! (disclaimer: I do not claim to think that Wawa has the best pork roll. Just pointing out a multi state fact. Plus I was just there picking up a coffee and thought about getting one but didn't. My fat ass thanks me).

This is exactly what I'd like to do. So does anyone have recommendations for who to go to that meets the bolded word? I can certainly just pick one of my local ranges, but I prefer someone that is a quality instructor and wants to teach.

What do you guys put down on the form as your reason (since it is required)?

Pork roll egg and cheese is one less syllable so it DOES roll better! Pork roll ROLLS better!

I do know for a fact grip in and of itself grip was an issue last night. I watched a good video and I was definitely doing it wrong. Not the grip as in where I was putting my hands, but where I was putting the pressure. How I understand it I was placing pressure side to side not front to back. I can immediately understand why that is so important. The highlighted line in your post cannot be any more true. What it all feels like is the difficult part. I shot some back in 2012. Life events caused me to put it on the back burner. I'm back in the game so it's like starting from scratch again since I was a novice back then. This is a great video and I will absolutely will be doing this. The concept makes total sense. Thanks HE!

This is great info. In all honesty that is EXACTLY what it looked like. I thought something was wrong . I saw the front sight clear as day. but rear sight and target was blurry. As far as the sights I purchased, they are for quicker sight acquisition. In the info they sent it states the pointed tip of the front sight should be on your target, not the diamond as a whole along with everything else you stated. I have a color deficiency so the bright a$$ front against the rear white allows the front to be very distinctive to my eye. I'm also not stuck with them since they have 60 return policy. Full refund if you don't like them.

I won't take that bet since I already called myself out on what you said. However it would be good to confirm the sights are indeed ok. I definitely appreciate you providing your feedback for sure!

Probably both. Two sets of eyes think it's a hair left. I know I am anticipating recoil which is definitely something I need to work on so I'm probably loosening my grip. I think I need to work an even grip front to back as well.

Front sight seems solid. It was a really tight fit and I used some blue locktite on that screw.

I have been examining the rear sight. It looks like it may by a hair off to one side. I tried to use a ruler to measure each side and it seems like it's ok. I had my woman look at it and asked if she thought it was off at all and she though it was slightly off to the same side I thought. I'm gonna move it a hair. I wish I had a tiny ruler. I tried calipers but I can't seem to get a good grab with them.

So I hit the range today. I shot 50 rounds at 5yds. It was great for the first 8 rounds. All in the bullseye. Then it just went south. I'm pretty confident the problem is NOT the sights. I was going to post the target but it's too embarrassing. It's all over. In some cases I intentionally shot to the right and high. Everything low and to the left there was no intention. The lime green front sight is easy to see for sure though. I am definitely a novice and know I need much practice and training. However I do want to know if my sights are ok.

Will definitely report back

It definitely made it easy. I'm hoping I have it adjusted right, but to your point, it will be in the bag if I need to adjust and can do it easily on the spot

Just bought one with Bass Pro Shop gift cards I had thanks to this thread. If I didn't have the cards would have gotten off Amazon for $10 less

It is indeed. I was going to buy the black one from NRA to give them the money, but shipped it was $190! Got the tan one off amazon for $126 shipped including tax.

Thanks. I did turn it down but didn't locktite it. I'll do that. I did make sure to locktite the front though
