  1. Curious why they call it a preorder — I wonder if they had some sort of change that I hadn’t seen $1299 is for the synthetic stock version and that seems to be the street price I really like the looks of the walnut stock version — that walnut stock gets an extra $200
  2. There are plenty of online dealers, was actually hoping to find a dealer within driving distance who had one on the shelf -- I would really like to see if it "fits" before I plunk down $1500 on an airgun
  3. Unfortunately the manufacturer only list 1 retail location in the USA - In South Carolina Guess I have to give them a call
  4. I have a couple of Air Arms air rifles — shoot them more than anything else I have an itch to get my hands on a FXwildcat MK1 or 2 — want to see how it feels anyone know of any high end air gun dealers in NJ or PA — I’d actually prefer PA...
  5. anyone notice in the 1st video she was using her middle finger on the triggers -- maybe couldn't reach with the proper finger...
  6. at 6'4 she should be able to handle a 12 gauge... I started my son young shooting clays too -- he was small -- maybe 65 pounds -- ended up with an over under youth gun from Dicks that fit him pretty well How I managed recoil for him was by reloading shotgun shells -- ended up with a shell with 9/16 ounce of shot -- he would shoot 250 shells almost every weekend at clinton WMA -- lots of lead in the air is the answer as Rosey said...
  7. My son went thru this a few months -- rear ended at speed -- other guy fault 100% -- other guys insurance was Progressive IN less than 12 hours progressive was calling and offering money, said to get a rental car, they'll pay for it -- said to go get car repaired, they'll pay for it -- all medical, they'll pay for it So I called a good friend who owns an auto body shop -- Flat out said he won't work with Progressive -- they are terrible and treat their own customers like crap -- Told me to accept nothing from Progressive and go thru my own Insurance -- my son is 22 so he's on my insurance The progressive medical check came within 3 days -- Also came with a waiver releasing them from all further medical responsibility -- Cash the check and you release them -- of course it wasn't cashed -- Haven't ever received a medical bill at that point -- had no idea what it would cost To answer the original question -- Being in NJ, all medical related to a car accident is covered by your own Insurance company -- no matter who is at fault -- Your insurance co will then get reimbursed by the other guy if it was their fault -- My son didn't have any medical after the 1st day so I have no idea about the recurring visits -- I would imagine that you should talk with your own insurance company to get answers -- I just hope you both aren't insured by the same company, and none of them are Progressive.
  8. Old bridge rifle and pistol is good to go for USPSA training -- you need to be a member -- you also will not be able to have a pit to yourself on weekends between 9am and about 4 PM -- Almost always a match of some sort going on Membership is a little costly but if your going to use it then it's very worth it -- Especially if your schedule lets you shoot during the week
  9. Ringing steel at 300 yards with a 1911 in 45.acp sound like a blast to me... Decided to edit that thought -- trying to ring steel at 300 yards with a 1911...
  10. Any day with enough notice is fine -- Multiple days would be fine too
  11. I'm interested along with my son -- What town or zip code?
  12. Just looked up the current price of a shot -- $35 to $45 per 25 pound bag Last time I bought it it was $25 per bag Probably doesn't pay to get setup and reload unless you're going to make some sort of "specialty" shell Another thing -- The shotshell press is set up per gauge -- Can't use a 12g press to make 20g shells -- have to use a separate press for every gauge
  13. Lou I have no ides what complete ammo costs -- I haven't bough a complete round in over a decade -- shot shell or metallic centerfire ammo I also have no ides what the current cost of lead shot is -- As always, when I find a deal I buy a lot -- I still have a few 25 pound bags around Admittedly I haven't reloaded shotshell for over 2 years, Made enough back then to get me thru the limited shooting I've done in the past couple years I also have a ton of primers and powder -- PROMO is what I used in shot shell -- Also use it in most of my pistol rounds -- dirty and smokes a little but goes bang every time
  14. I've been reloading shotshell for a few years now too -- started when Jake was a little kid and needed softer shells to keep him interested -- he used to shoot 300 rounds a session over at Clinton WMA You do not clean shotshell hulls -- just pick a brand and stick with it -- can't really mix and match shell cases -- they are all made a little differently -- Remington gun club is a good one and easy to find -- just look in the dumpster at the range -- some of the lower end winchesters are no good -- if you look in the empty hull you'll see a separate white disk inside -- the hull is made from multiple pieces and not good for reloading You can reload a shot shell till is splits -- maybe 4 or 5 loadings -- Generally the end where the crimp is will break The expensive part of loading shotshell is the shot itself
  15. I just put a set of general grabber ATX on a stock, unaltered 2015 JKU -- 33-12.5-15 Yes I went down to 15" rims -- yes they fit just fine -- just can't use stick on weights -- I used 5 OZ of airsoft BBs per tire
  16. And how exactly are these retailers getting the charged sales tax to NJ -- How exactly would NJ go about penalizing any out of state retailer for not complying?
  17. Easy choice for me -- 1911 -- although I have no illusions that I would make money with it
  18. I tossed around the idea of going to one of Jim Garthwaite's classes As with most things for me work gets in the way I would certainly take a class and build a gun to see if it was something I wanted to do more seriously
  19. Since you're talking alternatives -- I know a guy who swears by Beet juice as an ice melt Use it straight or mix it with your salt pile to make the salt work in much lower temps expensive but much safer for the environment and our vehicles -- Go ahead, look it up
  20. Doesn’t look like the range above is located in NJ — looks like new holland, PA there also looks to be a pretty substantial waiting list for membership
  21. was out today being an outlaw violating the state of emergency travel bans -- Managed to get stuck behind multiple state and county trucks all out salting Thing is they where salting totally dry roads -- what a joke
  22. I'd love to see the actual numbers on how much Money $$$ Murphy has spent on the NON snow this year I'm in middlesex borough -- a mile or 2 from the northern most part of middlesex county -- not a drop of snow, started with 5 minutes of frozen rain then rain throughout -- It's 39* now at 12:36pm and not raining
  23. i didn't think I was going to be able to sit thru all 12 minutes when I 1st saw how long it was -- but I'm glad I did
  24. This is Middlesex Borough -- the very northern part of Middlesex county I'm told they follow the rules that the county suggests How is Old Bridge?
