I'm looking at the Konus Konuspot 20-60x80mm Spotting Scope 7120, but wondering what is everyone using. Which spotting scope are you using? If it goes out to 300 yds, how is the quality of the image? How much did you pay for it?

I got 11" on position 2... so off by a bit .... but not much... ... I actually did the math on it too on a spreadsheet, but was off for some reason.... being I'm Chinese... I should have used my head instead of trusting the spreadsheet.... LOL So we did some more measuring and because I'm 5'10 ... my nose is actually touching the charging handle with blade stance but about 2" away with squared stance. My wife is about 3" away with blade stance, so it was fine. We stopped by Arms-n-Ammo this weekend, looking to pickup an M&P9 for my wife and Paul was nice enough to take a look at the AR. He saw the same problem I was describing with the rear sight. I tried one of the AR he had with the Magpul sight and it didn't have that problem. NJPilot guest us in CJRPC on Sunday and we tried the AR for the first time. She is able to get about 6" group with BUIS at 50 yds for the first time handling an AR or any long arm, so it works.... LOL ... no need to repin the stock!!! ... I was so dreading the repin.

Thanks Rifleman1!!! NJPilot showed us around CJRPC on Sunday and it was really nice!!! We're going to join end of the month.

I hear ya... I didn't have the luxury of "trying it on for size" prior to placing the order with an out of state FFL. I've also searched all over the web for stock pin position in relation to LOP. But the "pin stock" rule only apply to a few states so the information was none existance or I couldn't find it.

Oops. I meant we'll be going to CJRPC after we visit OBRPC on Sunday. So you are correct.... LOL I'll PM you with my contact information. Thanks!

Yeah.... that's pretty much what I did to measure my wife's LOP. It's 12.5", but I didn't know what position on the stock would be equilivent to 12.5. The dealer told me, most people get it at position 2, which equates to 11" .... so that's where I am now..

How many pistol pits are there? From what I can tell on Google Map, seems like 4 are good for pistol, 2 are medium range and 1 long range for a total of 7?

Steve... seems like you have a lot of experience with competition... seems like Old Bridge offer a lot more "matches" than Central Jersey? I don't mind the drive and honestly, I dont' think we'll be going more than 2x a month, so distance is not really an issue. Have you been to Central Jersey? Would you know the pro and cons of each? Any input would be greatly appreciated. A friend who has been to OB mention that you can setup your own target and just practice, which I don't think you can do at Central Jersey? It also seems like, if we eventually going to do matches, OB would be the place to be? I understand that we can attend matches any where, but being that you can setup you own course in OB and practice would be an advantage, but the downside is that most weekends there will be no pit to setup because it's all being used for competition.

LMAO ... It's been a while since I've shot an AR, I think I can manage but I'm trying to teach my wife how to handle the AR and I want it to be as easy as possible. I will be getting an EoTech XPS3-2 in the near future, but that's after she learns how to use the BUIS, but until then I need her to learn to shoot without optics. Man... first day on the forum and I'm not getting any work done.

Thanks Steve ... I've actually already tried what you've suggested. But it's cool I'll just stop by on Sunday morning to take a look. Word is that OBRPC is also pretty busy on the weekends as well because they hold a lot of competition?? When do you usually go? Does OBRPC have holster rules? We're not going every other day, so it's not too too bad...

Dammit ... it must be these Chinese eye I have then!!! ... LOL

Nick, Question, so if you move just 1 inch closer to the sight. Do you have the problem that I've described?

I saw that and I e-mailed them how much for the family membership fee several times, but never got a response. *shrugs* ... We're looking for the family membership fee because my wife would want to participate in leagues also... LOL

We were going to OBRPC this Sunday at 9am for orientation. I spoke with VP Mr. Roddy for a viewing and he said that we can just enter using the USPSA/IPSC code to enter and look around. But I guess we can't use the range. So if you're going to be at the range on Saturday and can bring my wife and I into the range as guest, say anywhere from 11:30am - 1pm, that would be great. Since we don't know when the orientation will end. And of course, should be become members, we will put you down as our Sponsor for the $50 credit. We would like to use the range too if it's not too much trouble. Since my wife do want to shoot in league, we'll be getting membership for the both of us. I just don't understand this line.... 2. Two other persons, per visit, may be accorded guest of member privileges without payment or range fees twice each in any one calendar year. What is the range fee, should be exceed the mention rule above?

Based on the picture and measurement of what I have. You seems to have an LOP of ~12" including the pad, but your rear sight might be an inch or so more forward than my setup. Not sure if this is correct, but I was taught the front sight should be as far as possible and the rear sight should be as rear as possible. The additional 1.5 to 2 inches will definately help with "disappearing" of the rear apeature from the "sight picture". Maybe I'll move the rear sight instead of re-pin of the stock.

NjPilot - Thanks for link. I've looked them up and seems like they are a bit more organized than OBRPC. I'm looking at about $1100 for the first year and $534 every year after for the both of us. LOL ... We've never joined a club before but I guess the only way to visit the facility is to have a member show us around? Or it open to the public also? Also, when there is a event that is open to the public, does that mean the public pays a fee but members don't? Sorry to bombard you with all these questions... LOL I don't know how much OBRPC cost yet because they never replied to my e-mail, which isn't cool.

LOL... ZED just bought a huge smile to my face... LOL ... Very COOL!!! I don't really mind the distance because it will be 2x a month trip for us. It's a expensive sport, so we want to make sure we don't have a big grin on our faces but empty bank accounts... I only picked OBRPC because they offer a lot of disciplines, 24/7 indoor and seems like something is always going on there? I've looked into Fort Dix as well and a few others. SJSC is closer for sure. I also have another buddy who just applied but lives by Edgewater, so this is sort of like a midpoint. We're intested in joining compeitions in the future and think the OBRPC might be a good place to practice? I've just looked up USANA and that seems like a pretty good place, but not too much information on their website. http://www.championshooters.com/clubs/nj-usana.html But that never came up on my radar before, but thanks for the heads up.

Currently, it's on position 2 with 11" LOP with the Magpul MOE. I'm so up front that the apeture ring is none existance, so there is not sense of alignment.... not sure if that makes sense. My nose isn't touching the charging handle but it's about 1 - 1.5" away. Krdshrk - What position is your stock? If you don't mind me asking. I'm taking it down to Arms-n-Ammo this weekend to get it adjusted, hopefully to position 4, which should be 12.5" LOP.

Thanks for welcome... I will be attending the orientation with my wife this Sunday. Around Camden... What is NJ ZED?

Just curious ... what is the measurement of on the LOP for your long arm? Do you feel that too close render the BUIS useless because the rear apeture ring is just a big blur?

It seems like OBRPC offer the best value when compared to many other ranges or clubs? Any insight would be appreciated...

One more thing, we're looking to join OBRPC this weekend. Is there anyone from NJGF a member of the OBRPC?

Hello, My wife and I just started the "sport" and I've been lurking around many forums for information while waiting for our FIDs and this is by far the more informative one among many for NJ firearm owners. We applied for our FID and PPP and it took about 10 weeks for us to get them, which isn't too bad by what I've read amoung other members. Unfortunately listening to bad advice from the out of state dealer, we purchased a SIG516 and had it pinned prior to being shipped to our NJ FFL and it was pinned at position 2, which gave it about 11" LOP, too short even for my 5'1" wife to use with BUIS. We'll be visiting Arms-n-Ammo this weekend to get it re-pinned, hopefully. Thanks, Yen

Honestly, I'm not sure. It's the P229R with the factory SRT and E2 grip, does that help? Or can you tell me how to distinguish between the short/long extractor?

Does the P229 9mm fit the P229 9mm with E2 grip? If they do, I will take them all.
