Welcome!

Sorry for your loss. My father passed 18 years ago just before my 21st birthday. I can relate do your devastation. Condolences to you and your family.

That's exactly my point.

Nice! I was wondering about adding optics. I see that it has a short rail forward of the receiver. I'm guessing a scope with a 6" or bigger eye relief would be in order.

Was wondering what kind of distance you can get out of the Scout Squad. Was thinking about purchasing one for the range and out of state hunting.

There's always Cabellas. They run specials from time to time. Tractor Supply has a few models with average prices. Unfortunately, A sale on a gun safe is usually wiped out by the $100+ shipping charges if you can't pick it up yourself.

I understand your point however I disagree with being ok for a visit by an agency due to my purchase habits. Who's to say what "abnormal" is? If you were to buy 6k rounds in 5 days from 6 different retailers because each had a sale or free shipping offer, who catches that? The shipping company does not know what's in the boxes. Just because it says Federal or Winchester on the box does not mean its ammo. How about companies that repack or double box? Will every shipment from Midway or Sportsman's Guide raise a flag?

Thank you Bob! I was paraphrasing. Once my scope arrives this week I'll be taking my 22-250 out for some ground hog huntin!

If you go to the Division of fish and wildlife web page and look up the rules for woodchuck hunting, it states "any center fire rifle with a bullet under 100 grains".

I'm moving to Texas!!

That is an incredible story!

The article does mention that it would be an uphill battle to get it passed.

Reminds me of the old saying "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". I do believe that most gun owners are of a more reserved demeanor.

+1 I'm not anti union in the sense that they were formed in the first place to stop sweat shop conditions and poor treatment of the workers. What bothers me is that in many cases, their protections have created an environment where marginal or sub standard performance is compensated the same as spectacular. There's a glaring example of this in NJ, the NJEA. Please don't anyone take this as me being anti teacher, but when I get my tax bill each quarter I get a bit miffed seeing 53% of my taxes going to a school system I don't even send my kids to.

Didn't get into handguns till last year and my first purchase was a Springfield XDM 45acp, 4.5". I love that gun. Since then I have purchased a few others including a Sig and revolvers and I still like the XDM best. I'm starting to collect and appreciate the different sizes, materials, and styles out there.

Lee Classic Cast with Hornady titanium nitride dies. I'm gonna try backing the die off a hair when I run the next batch.

Just wanted to say I loaded my first 5 rounds of 38 special today, test fired, and success! Never thought I would feel so satisfied from firing my own ammo! Now I'm going to go ahead and run 100 more through the press. 3g of Bullseye, PMC brass, and federal primers with Speer 158gr LSWC bullets. I do have a question for you all regarding the crimp. How much "roll" do you put in? To me it looked like I went a little too far, but the rounds fired just fine.

All I want is a stinking M1 Carbine!

10mm Firearms forum. It was started a short while ago. I found out about it while reading the Glock Forums when I was getting ready to buy my G20SF. There's all kinds of ammo, barrel, reloading, and accessory info. Very friendly bunch on there. www.10mm-firearms.com

Not sure about that. I would contact their customer service.

Welcome! Make sure you cover your a$$ and check out the NJ gun laws. There are magazine restrictions, feature restrictions, and of course you cannot carry your pistol concealed or open unless you have a NJ carry permit, which is next to impossible to get.

Thank you, did not realize it did that.

I second the Underwood ammo. $25/box of 50. Shipping costs are so so, and you have to get a copy of your FID to them before they ship. Guys on the 10mm forum swear by Underwood's full power ammo.

FIAMINGO: Open dialogue on gun violence www.APP.com Most people will acknowledge that it is not guns but rather the misuse of guns that is the real problem. I believe that most 'gun control advocates' simply want to prevent the loss of innocent life, and that those of us who use firearms for sport, hunting

Where did you hear that something about online ammo purchases was being drafted? I don't doubt that there will be feel good gun control legislation drafted because of this. If you look on the NJ assembly bill list there is a mag restriction bill sitting there lowering capacity to 10 and sighting the Giffords shooting in AZ as the reason. I'm sure it will be amended to list the CO shooting as an additional reason. We as the gun owning community must be ready to voice our opposition to any such legislation. It's nothing more than the anti gun community pushing for feel good legislation.
