Well, sort of... I work out of my home 3 days a week and Philly 2 days a week.

Welcome from Maple Shade.

Looks like I'll be checking out Rayco's in Merchantville if Dick's doesn't have the Savage's in stock. Rayco's has a used Marlin 25 I'm going to check out and like your said, MikeK77, they can get what I want for a really good price. Thanks everyone.

I didn't even know about the price request option on this site. Thanks j0n, I'll try that out. Yes, I need to stop by Dick's again. I don't remeber them having any .22 bolt actions last time I was there, but I really wasn't looking at the time either. I'm liking the CZ's more and more though as I read about them.

Yeah, I've read some really good things about CZ. A bit more money than the others, but I don't mind the extra cost if it's a quality firearm. If the cost is reasonable compared to having to buy online, I'm not against a road trip!

In a recent introductoin post by me, I was very set on getting a Remington 597 .22. I have now started to lean in the other direction as far as action goes anyway. Can anyone recommend a gun shop in NJ that carries .22 bolt action rifles? I have called several shops in my area and .22 bolt action doesn't seem like a regularly stocked item. Maybe they were all sold for Christmas! The models I am interested in seeing are: Savage MKIIG (walnut stock) Marlin XT-22 CZ 455 American A used .22 in very good condition would also be an option. Thanks.

Welcome to you too then Nick! Just read your thread. Let me know if you settle on a place to join. I should probably visit a few first instead of going by web site information, but at least it helps narrow things down a bit instead of driving all over NJ. Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I might use Bob's as an occasional indoor range, but I'd much rather shoot outdoors. Even if the weather isn't cooperating very much.

Thanks! Good to know about Range 14. I thought it was Wednesday and Friday year round. Must have mis-read that. South Jersey Shooting Club seems to be pretty popular here as well for this area. I'll keep them on the short list as well. They look to be a bit more accessable through the week. A fair yearly rate as well. Anyone know if they have a new member fee?

Just wanted to get my first post here and say hello to everyone on the forum. Brief story of how I found this forum; I haven't been out to a range in a long time. Only a few trips out to a buddy's farm in PA in the fall months is when I get to shoot at all. Young kids and a new house will do that I guess. My last time at a range was at Hague's when it was called Eagle Eye. I was trying to find a new place as it looked like Hague's is a bit out of my price range for regular visits and I wanted a place that would be fun to shoot a .22 rifle (which I don't own yet, but will be getting one soon... hopefully). Right now I own a Remington 870 and a Glock 23. I figured I needed to add a rimfire to my meager collection. Any way, I googled ranges in NJ or something like that and here I am! Thanks for having me. As for ranges, I think I'm going to give Range 14 a go, but am considering joining Delran Junior Marksman club. The only think I don't like about DJMC is that they are only open on weekends, so I might not be able to get out too often. If anyone has any other suggestions of places that are near by, please let me know. It looks like there are a lot of options if I want to drive an hour N/S or E. Thanks. -- Jay
