  1. Is it true that you do this by leafing through your copy of the Blue Book of Gun Values (all 2400 pages) and looking for the few guns you haven't X'd out as already in your safe? :-)
  2. "Vernon" and "meeting friends" would work (assuming range is in Vernon). There are always friends at the range.
  3. I had to save my photo file about 6 times before I could post it, reducing the size each time. The maximum allowed size is very small...
  4. OK, I didn't shoot the group. It's the factory test target that came with the gun, fired from a machine rest. But still, that's a 0.04" c-t-c group for 5 shots fired from 10 meters (33 feet). Nothing outshoots a precision air gun at short range (though the price of the high-end competition guns does give one pause). The FWB Model 2 was the best of the best a couple of decades ago, though the technology has advanced since that time.
  5. I suspect that wouldn't work. It's a single frame that happens to support two barrels, but there is no way to separate it into two guns. Much like an O/U or S/S shotgun, except for that pesky trigger function problem. So often when I see a firearm design that isn't legal in NJ, I'm annoyed that I can't have one here. That's not the case in this instance!
  6. Congrats! That's rare air up there, in the DE ranks!
  7. The critical question now is: "What can you find?" The more enduring answer is: "It depends"...you'll have to try various types and see what your particular gun likes best. At least with a bolt action, you can select only on precision--what ammo groups best. With a semiautomatic, you have to select first for reliable function, then for precision. Standard velocity (subsonic) ammo will be most precise--unfortunately, it seems to be the hardest to find right now. That looks like a gun capable of discerning the difference between premium and so-so target ammo, so try some of the better brands. I'd probably start with mid-price offerings from Eley, RWS, Lapua, and top-end Federal and CCI. Fortunately, the recent ammo shortage that has caused cheap .22 to skyrocket in price has only modestly increased the price of the good stuff. I went to a gun show a few months ago and bought Eley Tenex for about 40% more than the optimistic asking price for Remington Thunderbolt. Two years ago, the Tenex would have been over 500% more expensive. Is that an old Unertl scope? Haven't seen one of those in awhile. They made good stuff.
  8. I understand why this is desirable from a functional point of view...but I really, really hate double-action only first shot/single action only follow-up shot handguns. The radical change in trigger pull from the first shot to the next drives me nuts.
  9. Gawd. I double checked the link, and the text quoted really does appear in in the interpretive statement for the bill. So much misinformation packed into a single sentence fragment... I miss the days when the congress critters saved the lies and deceptive rhetoric for the press releases. Now they write it right into the proposed legislation.
  10. I've got a bullseye gun that seems to feed nothing reliably except for CCI Standard Velocity. Which I can't find. I last stumbled into a brick at Dicks 6-8 months ago. It never seems to come up on Gunbot.net. Any leads? I could use a couple of bricks. Thanks.
  11. It's Vermont; you could probably keep them all out on the kitchen counter (but a safe is a very good idea.) So you'll be working in Bermuda, and changing your US residence from NJ to VT? We all hate you. :-)
  12. Yep. Website here: http://northjerseyclaytargetclub.com/ I'm not a member, but I shoot there occasionally (membership is optional, but it drops the cost per round). It's a really nice facility.
  13. I had a box drilled and contents removed once when I was current on rent...because the bank transposed two digits on my rental agreement. They did an annual audit, found no renter for the box I had, assumed the key was lost, and drilled it. I would hope that is an extremely rare event, but it happened at least once!
  14. I belonged to CRRC in the late 80's and early 90's. Only quit when I moved out of the area. I liked it a lot. The work hours weren't much of a burden, and if you completed them it reduced your membership cost. The facilities were good, but unfortunately they had to close the outdoor high-power rifle range when I was there, to appease the neighbors. It was replaced with a collection of concrete pipes through which one could shoot prone or from the bench, but they could no longer host hp matches. The members were a great group when I was there; still seems to be a very active club.
  15. With very bad knees? I don't think crossfit would be a good idea.
  16. It was the actual law before. Towns that didn't believe they had to follow the law are why Jeremy(my hero!) had to establish a case to force the courts to remind the towns that they had to comply.
  17. Amazing. I can't shoot that fast with a .22 And I shoot a lot.
  18. The photo of that monster holding a rifle is truly frightening. I'm referring, of course, to the photo in post #3...
  19. I've not had my hands on this gun, but that looks like the most fragile means of mounting a scope that I've ever seen... The attachment of the buttstock to the receiver doesn't inspire confidence, either.
  20. 10X replied to RUTGERS95's topic in Handguns
    And this.
  21. They make you move back to NJ... :-)
  22. He may be right. The show is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest-rated TV series of all time (based on its reviews for the 2013 season).
  23. I also use an RCBS 505 beam scale. I bought mine in 1978, so I can vouch for the longevity of the design! I do have an inexpensive digital scale (don't recall the brand), which I use a lot due to it's convenience...but I remain a big fan of the 505 and continue to use it as well.
  24. I'll give you $200. And not tell your girlfriend you bought it. :-)
