Seems like you're paying for a camera you don't really need. Plus, could you really see .223 holes at 300 yds. on an LCD screen? At that price, I'd want 100% of the money I spent to go into the optics.

If you're just riding streets and county roads to the station, the 250 will be fine. But it's a little light for the highway as others have said. The reason being you just can't cruise along slowly in the right lane. When a driver in a car is about to miss his exit, he'll make a sharp right from the center or left lane and cut you off as if you're not even there. The left lane is the only place that won't happen. You need a bike that can cruise comfortably at speed in the left lane.

The report I hear on WINS was that he shot two people with a shotgun and then killed himself.

I just recently took the scopes off two of my rifles to try and get better with iron sights and shooting at the two hundred yard range with my cheapo spotter was very tiring. I had to struggle to see the bullet holes (223 & 7mm) with every shot. Unless I want to always shoot with a scope, I'll have to get a spotter that can clearly see bullet holes out to 300 yards. I don't care if it's good for anything else but that much I need. I'd like to find the cheapest one that can do that. I'd give up on brightness and weatherproofness to save money.

I was also looking at a Konus, the 7116 15x-45x65mm. I figure the smaller objective might have better resolution. But that's just a guess, I haven't looked through either. Last week at the range a shooter let me check out his Leupold. Very clear .308 bullet holes at two hundred yds. Of course, I could buy a couple of rifles for what it cost.

The rifle length also has a longer sight radius and a smaller looking front post if you're using iron sights. The smaller front post should (in theory) translate to a better grouping at distance.

The orientation pretty much covers all the rules and courtesies. The 100 yard range is more closely supervised than the 200/300 yarder where your expected to know what you're doing. Get there early to get out early. They hand out the temp. passes in the order you came in. You can shoot after orientation but check the schedule. See if the range you want to use is going to be tied up with matches. They'll have target stands for sale. You can make your own, though. There are plans on their website. Nick

I was at Ramsey Outdoors Paramus yesterday looking at cleaning supplies and the guy at the counter spent at least a half hour showing some guy and his girl a bunch of handguns, explaining all the pros and cons, generally going into great detail and patiently answering their questions. I left before seeing if they bought one. I guess it depends on who's behind the counter when you get there. At Ramsey in Ramsey the Asian guy in the gun section is super helpful. Sorry that I can't remember his name.

I believe that's 50yds/200meters. I'm going to the range Thursday to sight in a new iron sight using the fifty yard range and then I'll check on the 200 yard range where if I'm right they should be a little high.

I switched from DirectTV to FIOS for a faster internet connection. I thought DirectTV had a better menu layout but DSL isn't fast enough for me. I don't get cable because during heavy loads your signal gets compressed. You're sharing a line with everyone and every device in the area. During heavy viewing hours, my friends HD cable looks like an old VCR. With FIOS, you're line is your own. Every individual fiber is unique all the way back to the switching station. My picture alway looks great. But Verizon customer service does suck and if DirectTV had better internet I would've stayed with them.

We ran across this issue when I served on the grand jury. Basially, If you're walking around three in the morning carrying a large steak knife, you'd better be a chef.

Eventually the folks in Colorado will decide how to handle their own issues. And eventually Lautenburg and his flunkys will punish NJ gun owners for them not listening to him.

When I tried Herters Russian steel case in my new Stag I had many misfeeds and one cartridge stuck in the chamber. I haven't had one feed problem with brass.

Hi, After finding so much great info here, I joined to add my voice and support to fellow New Jersey gun owners. Nick
