30-30 Win ammo sale
http://palmettostatearmory.com/federal-30-30-150gr-spfn.html In case anyone is looking specifically for this caliber, PSA is selling them for $9.99 plus shipping. For 25 boxes (20rds/box), it came out to $275.75 or about 55 cents/round. About as low as I've seen anywhere in awhile, price expires tomorrow (8/12).

Oaks PA gun show....worth the trip?
I've gone to this show many times and I can say that ammo prices are not that great, you could find a better deal online. The only real benefit is that you can buy it and take it home without the wait. Otherwise to me, buying ammo there only makes sense if you're buying some more uncommon calibers which you only want limited quantities of. However, outside of that point, I do find it enjoyable to walk around and just look (and possibly handle) various different things that you might not otherwise see. Also for those that haven't been to one, keep in mind that while "guns" is the main draw, there are a lot of vendors selling stuff related stuff like books, movies, patches, clothing, etc...

Ammo Sale - Dick's Sporting Goods
Yes I know, some folks no longer shop there but for those that do, our favorite (ahem) retailer, Dick's, is have a sale this week which includes firearms and ammo. Not really in need of most stuff so I didn't bother checking out all of the sales. However, the one thing I did look at is 22LR ammo. For that, it's buy 1, get 1 50% off. For the bulk packs, that's limited to 1 offer (buy 1, get 1 50% off) per person per day. I grabbed two packs of Remington Thunderbolts (500rds) for $56.15 total (5.6 cents/round). Still higher than pre-2013 (sigh) but ok enough for me... They had Remington Golden Bullets (525rds) for $39.99, which for buy 1, get 1 50% off I believe would be about $64.18 total (6.4 cents/round). There was also some Federal Automatch (325rds) I believe for $24.99, which for buy 1, get 1 50% off I believe would be about $40.11 total (6.2 cents/round). These were prices from the Moorestown store, please double check prices at your local store and not just take my word for it.

Yeah, that Davey Crockett thing got me too. I couldn't believe that was a real thing. Too bad we can't get that as surplus! Now how the heck are we supposed to fend off all those zombie hordes in our post apocalyptic future?!

Firearms Appraisal for Insurance
Appreciate the info folks, will have to look into this further. I had thought the NRA insurance was way more expensive but it may not be that much more based on my carrier's quote, that's why I didn't look into them originally. I'll have weigh my options. Funny thing is that I did look at Metlife but they were charging more for both my auto and home (and I already have a life policy with them to boot) than what I was switching out of, even if I include that they are covering firearms... Just to note, my biggest concern right now isn't loss due to theft but rather due to fire. I live in a townhouse and mine is the middle unit of 8 in the building that I'm in. Having had part of my first floor flooded last year because of my neighbor's pipe bursting and then seeing my friends stuff go up in smoke the year before when the apt he lived in burnt down because of a fire that started at the complete opposite end of the building, I'm unfortunately more concerned about my neighbors than thieves right now...

Firearms Appraisal for Insurance
Does anyone have any recommendations for a firearms appraiser? Got a new homeowners policy through Allstate and it only covers $1000 for firearms unless I purchase additional coverage. To buy the additional coverage, I would just need to get my firearms appraised. I live In the South NJ near Philly but I can travel a little bit or willing to pay for appraiser to come to me. Appreciate any thoughts, thanks!

The Walking Dead
Were I Carol, I would've gotten in that car and took off. Now look at her, she sticks with Darrell and gets turned into a living crash test dummy. Not sure which was worse, going over the side of the bridge in the van or getting run over by a station wagon. Either way, Ouch!!!

Cheyenne Mtn Outfitters Nov 2014 Sales Flyer
http://www.cheyennemtnoutfitters.com/sales-flyer.asp Here's the latest sales flyer they have out covering November. A few nice deals like the S&W MP15 for $590. Also have some bricks of CCI std and Mini Mags set aside each week for sale. A bit pricey if you ask me but better than nothing I suppose. Also, per page 11 of the flyer, they are moving to their newm, larger digs in May 2015...

Upcoming Oaks, PA Gun Shows 2/7-2/9 and 3/28-3/30
I thought most ammo was over priced, I could find a better deal online if I waited for a sale. I thought some of the rifle prices were ok. I did see a Spas-12 going for $1200 that I would've been all over if it were legal here. Otherwise, I was disappointed in the show in that I saw a lot of empty tables. I found out that there's been a week long gun show in Harrisburg and that a few vendors were there instead of Oaks or that they split up what they had between the two shows. Oh well, will have to wait till end of March for the really big show back at Oaks...

Upcoming Oaks, PA Gun Shows 2/7-2/9 and 3/28-3/30
Just a heads up for folks, there's a gun show in Oaks, PA next weekend. Their usual fare of 1000 tables, $10 entry. I'll probably head up as usual. One special heads up though, is their show there next month on 3/28. Per their advertisement, that one will have 2000 tables, $12 entry. Not sure what the special occasion is but that's a pretty big show if you ask me. Also, here's a $1 dollar coupon for the entry fee that can be used at both shows. http://www.eaglearmsgunshows.com/coupon.html

Fiocchi 357 Magnum
http://www.dansammo.com/ammo.asp Just scroll down the page a bit and you'll see the Fiocchi section. Selling 1000rds of 158gr 357 magnum for $325 plus shipping. For me in South Jersey, the shipping was $20 (they're located near Pittsburgh) and got here in a week. So $345 total for the blue box, which I believe means it's US made (vs. green box that I think means is Italian made). Seems like a good deal to me as best I've seen otherwise is about $0.40/rd. I don't have too much experience with this brand but I've been shooting some of their 45 ACP I bought from PSA and seems good so far after 200rds.

Bass Pro Shops in NJ
Figured I'd start a thread about this since it was mentioned and asked about in the Cabela's thread. So to my understanding, there's two stores planned for NJ. One in Sayreville and the other in Atlantic City. Here are the most recent article about each that I could find: Sayreville location http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2013/06/sayrevill_bass_pro_shops_store.html Article dated 6/7/13, in short: - planning to build 200,000 sq. ft. store - depending on weather, may start road/building work in late 2013 - planning to open sometime in 2015 Atlantic City location http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/business/final-deal-signed-for-bass-pro-shops-store-in-atlantic/article_819bc220-8238-511d-aa0d-72bd98f3b0fc.html Article dated 7/16/13, in short: - planning to build 70,000 sq. ft. store - construction may begin in mid-Sept 2013, subject to regulatory and building approvals - planning to open in late 2014 From what I've read, the larger stores have the Outdoor World label but the smaller ones do not. Given the info from the above articles, this would lead me to think the two stores are going to be different since the AC store is much smaller than the Sayreville store. Being that I've never been to a Bass Pro Shop before, what's the difference whether has the Outdoor World label or not?

Cabela's Delaware
In case anyone was like me and wondering the status of the new store in DE, found this article dated 8/1/13, so almost two months old now... http://www.delawareonline.com/article/20130801/SPORTS17/308010055/Plans-new-Cabela-s-store-still-track In short: - Still going through with store, despite rumors otherwise - Planning on Spring 2014 open Anyone happen to have driven by the site by the Christiana mall that they're building this at? Construction was supposed to start in 2013 and I'm thinking they should be well on their way by now in developing the site. Appreciate any visual confirmations. Being an hour away from me, can't wait to see this open though a little bummed that it's not going to be as big as the one in Hamburg, PA. Per Cabela's, that one is 250,000 sq ft and the one they're building in DE is "only" 110,000 sq ft. Oh well...

Primary Arms Red Dot Sight
Ok, here's two pics I took. This is with the seting at the highest (11) level, though at lower levels I still see the 2nd dot to the right at around 4 o'clock. Interestingly in the pics, the main red dot looks ok though through if I look through it, it does not look right. I did not have a chance to take this out which I guess is why the PA rep asked that I do so... http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/202/df33.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/547/uo4o.jpg/

Primary Arms Red Dot Sight
Hi, anyone on the forum have much experience with Primary Arms and their red dot sights? I just purchased the following and got it yesterday... https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary-Arms-3MOA-CR2032-Red-Dot-GENII-p/pa30crgenii.htm I had looked around for feedback before buying one and I'd only seen good reviews on them in general. Was planning on putting this on my Arsenal SGL21. My concern is though is that in the unit I got, the dot doesn't seem like a dot, more like a splotch and when I turn it on to level 5 or higher (theres 11 settings), I see another smaller red dot at the 4 o'clock position but closer to the rim in addition to the main "dot". I emailed PA today and amazingly a rep responded within 10 mins and said that the smaller dot was a reflection from the glass and that the splotch was normal and that I'd see both of these on Aimpoints and EOTechs when put on the higher settings. They also asked that I take it and try it out on the range and let them know if I still have issue with it. I have or used other red dots from cheap NcStar to an Aimpoint ML3 and don't recall ever seeing a second red dot ever in any of those, much less the red dot not really being a dot. I'm going to honor the request and see how it does on the range but if it doesn't fly, PA's getting a call from me to at least replace what seems to me like a defective unit right out of the box. I really want to like this sight given what feedback I've seen and the cost but I'm just worried I wasted $91 on this... Thoughts? (sorry I'd post a pic showing you what I see but I can't seem to get a good picture)

Eagle Arms Oaks/Philly Expo Aug 10&11
Grabbed a PSL for $950 total, came with scope and 1 mag (10rd). Got one of the last ones as they were gone when I pasted the table again an hour later. Happy I was able to get one, been looking for one and haven't had the luck till now. Especially since another vendor had one with the same setup for $1200 and that sold too. Picked up another 4 mags (10rd) at a surplus vendor for another $215 (ouch!). But then I shouldn't complain since when I did a quick search for mags online, the were coming in at $70+/mag. Except for Aim Surplus but they didn't have any in stock and wasn't sure when they would so I figured I'd grab them while I could...

Save the 2nd Rally, 5/25 Noon in Philly
http://gunrightsacrossamerica.com/Save_The_2nd.html Somehow missed hearing about this till now. Hickok45 posted a note on his YouTube channel mentioning it cause he's going to be there as a speaker. I have to see if I can make it since Philly isn't that far away from me. Was anyone else planning on going?
