I saw that as well and the sad part is that even though it is not true, once it is out there many people believe it.

Congrats, very nice!

Got some and some .243 both with free shipping!

Reallly good deal!

Yes, same here! But...I am meeting with a recruiter this afternoon so maybe some movement in a job outside of NJ!

If they are given marching orders they will ALL vote for them. This is more about an agenda and putting as many anti-gun bills across the governor's desk as possible because it forces him to do one of two things. Veto them and look soft on guns at the state level, making Sweeney look like a good choice for governor or pass tham and look anti-gun at the national level. Believe me this is all part of a larger strategy.

I am in research and pay is comparable if not better outside of NJ these days. Hell, most of the large pharma companies are moving out of this area and down south as well.

It used to be that top companies in rural areas outside of NJ always had jobs to offer but couldn't compete with the wages you get here in the North East. That has been changing over the last several years to the point where companies in PA, NC, and SC are offering as much if not more for the same jobs here in NJ. It is just a matter of time before a critical mass of highly trained, highly educated and experienced labor moves out of stare and all we are left with are service sector and public employment. Just look around, what kind of businesses are being built in NJ? Looks like a bunch of Wawa's and drug stores, no real industry. I would move in a heartbeat if I could, and I will as soon as I find something. I already pay over $17K a year in property taxes and my kids go to private school, that is just not sustainable.

Nope and at $60 per 500 I won't be trying it any time soon. Now, it might be very accurate match grade, so then the $$$ is not that far off, but still well beyond what I need.

Exactly, our cat loves them!

Thanks for the heads up, I also go there often, never know what I might find.

We shot .22 in our basement when I was a kid growing up. We sat up a backstop made out of old newspaper and phone books against a rock and concrete wall (yea I know probably not the brightest idea). But we survived, no ill effects that I am aware of.

You didn't lend your handgun to your mother in law by any chance did you?

That might be my next gun, give us a range report once you get to shoot it!

I use their shotgun ammo all the time but I am feeding an 870 12 GA that feeds just about anything including my reloads!

Yea- you and me both!

I don't think you are that fer from the Rockaway river or the Boonton reservoir. The Rockaway river is stocked with trout in many places. I don't know if it is still open but the Boonton reservoir was opened to the public after being closed for many years, you had to buy a permit but they only cost $15-$20 for the season. The first year it opened we pulled many monster bass from that lake, some in the 5-6 lb range.

30-06 is fine for black bear, you should look at a larger caliber for grizzlies and brown bear. I would also guess that 30-06 would work on smaller grizz as well, or at least that is what I have been told.

Most guides typically want something larger than 30-06 for grizz. Some feel that 300 WM is about the smallest round you should use and there are some that recommend .375 or larger. The reasoning is that since bear have a thick hide and a fair layer of fat that you need a larger diameter bullet in order to get a good blood trail, anything smaller tends to clog or clot right up.

Stop eating spicy foods before bedtime!

Newark couldn't have had the worst stretch of violence nearly 25 years, their mayor did such a wonderful job he was elected senator?

Yep- use some Kroil and let it soak in for a day or so

Welcome aboard!

Congrats and stay in touch!

In the large Pharma/Bio-tech sector I see a slow but consistent contraction in the industry with most if not all new jobs being created down south. As the trend of consolidation in the industry continues I see the pace accelerating, with more jobs being eliminated and new jobs being created elsewhere. From a long term strategic perspective the cost of doing business on a large scale is just too expensive in the NY/NJ area. All of the input costs are high including land, taxes and labor.
