Bully

M&P 9. Several sizes(full-sized, mid-sized, and compact) and swappable backstraps for all the models. Just a thought. C

I hope you have ammo for it!! C

Very nice! Lovin the Rock. Cool gun. Of course the Smitty is awesome as well. C

Yes. 986. Alec, I don't want the N frame 8 shot. I'm not a competitive shooter and if I do compete its strictly for fun. I'm not worried about major/minor or even time. I compete so I can shoot my gun fast. I think a lot of folks are like me in that respect. C

The wait for permits on this was grueling! I'm heading to the range to put some rounds thru her Monday morning. I haven't been this excited about a toy for a hot minute. Christopher

Thanks all for the suggestions. I am actually taking a good friend that is very experienced with me. We are planning to head to the property in October to take a look around and get the lay of the land. Should be a fun and interesting experience. C

So I was gonna go deer hunting in NJ last year. I got my license and a nice gun. I never went. Sold the gun. Something about shotgunning a deer just isn't appealing to me. This year, one of my colleagues offered to let me hunt her property upstate. It is a rifle county. I'm psyched. I used it as an excuse to buy a new toy as well. So here is where I stand: I've never hunted before. I have a rifle (.308) I have property to hunt What else do I need? I'm not planning on a ton of camo or anything of that nature and I'll most likely walk the property/plant myself under a tree, so I don't need a stand. I know that I need some blaze orange. I'm thinking some rope, I have a nice knife that I'm looking to use, but after that I'm lost. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Also, if you have any videos that you would recommend, don't hesitate. Thanks. Christopher

" I am tempted to do this, but it appears to be a town requirement that I receive my letter in the mail before going down to inquire. " Although I understand your apprehension, for me, I try to always remember who works for whom. The police, the chief, and all the town's employees work for me. I don't work for them and I am generally happy to politely remind them of that. Additionally I would call/email the NJ2AS and have them inquire as to the whereabouts of said paperwork. If you don't go down there, your permits could potentially be sitting with a 2 week(or more)past date and you are losing time. IANAL, and all is simply my opinion. YMMV. C

That's a sweet looking rig. Good work. How did you bed the action? What did you use? Did you find it difficult? I am looking to do mine soon even though it shoots pretty stinkin' well. Any snags or issues during the bedding process? C

PizzaBob: that is a gorgeous collection. I really like the Ruger 77 in .243, oddly, as it's the least "special" gun in the group. Very, very nice. Old School: that satin stocked gun is sweet!!! Thanks for posting. C

Shawn, that's a beaut! Displaced, post a pic!! C

Old School... Can't wait to see the pics! C

Anyone on here venture out of state to hunt with their rifles? If so, what is your favorite setup? What game are you after? Please post pictures!!! C

Oh... They're supposed to be cleaned?? C

Yup. C

Great guns just outta my comfort zone at this time. Sent from my XT1030 using Tapatalk

Very fancy... Very nice. Take your time and do it right. You won't regret it. C

FWIW, you also have RTSP by you. I won't give them my money ever again, however many seem happy there. Try the GFH range. Super clean, friendly, and helpful with a ton of knowledge. Glock, I like it but the trigger isn't the best for me. It makes me less accurate than I know I can be. It'll run forever. Beretta, I'm not a huge fan but I shoot it well. Smoother due to the weight. I don't think you will go wrong with either. They are both well regarded and if this is your first you will probably end up with the one you didn't buy at some point anyway. C

Pretty. They are too much money for my wallet, but they are nice. C

Sighted in at 25yds. Federal bulk. Rested on the bench itself. C

Thanks much. I'd love to get together and shoot. Maybe bet for lunch. Handshake bets work for me as well. I know "Old School" wants to give these things a whirl sometime soon. C

Done... for now. Ruger 10/22 receiver VQ trigger group VQ extended mag release Fajen stock Un-branded bull barrel Bushnell Elite 3200 fixed 10x glass Weaver(I think) rings Weaver picatinny base Left to do: Bed the action C

Gun is together... Pics to follow. C

^^^That's pretty stinkin' sweet!!! Thanks for posting it. I'm waiting on the paint on my barrel to dry. With this weather, it might be a minute. C
