Yeah, not looking forward to that part.

I voted for the ruger. I like the Mark III better than the 22/45, simply because the 45 has a polymer frame, and that doesn't really work for me. Some of the target versions also feature a threaded barrel, which is a no-no in NJ if I understand correctly. I just got myself a Ruger Target Mark III Stainless. Wanted the hunter, but didn't feel like paying $200 extra. I also shot the Mark II at shore shot, and yeah, it was dirty as hell and had problems loading and ejecting cases. I had so many problems, but damn if I didn't shoot more accurately than I ever had before in my life!

Just got a new stainless Ruger Mark III Target today... thought about upgrading to the Hunter, but didn't feel like spending an extra $200 today. The target should be fine. Especially after I put some different grips on it, and maybe a red dot optic. Anyway, can't wait to get it in my hands!

I really like my Ruger 1911, but the Springfield was my close second choice.

I'm a fan of the iphone. I've had them since the 3g, and I always jailbreak them and put lots of cool features on them. I even developed simple apps. It's great. Couldn't get into android because the platforms are so diverse, it's just impossible to develop for (though that's improving). But there's not much you can't do with your i, once you get past the tricky keyboard.

This is my second purchase, I saw this on gunbroker for $100 less than the MSRP and jumped on it. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=341904590 It's a Ruger Mark III Target .22, in Stainless Steel! Comes with an optics mount! Can't wait to get it! (Of course, I have to wait, but that's OK)

I like this idea. the 500 seems to be in the same class as the 870, but a fair bit cheaper. I think I'm sold. Just gotta try one on for suze.

Thanks!

I may join soon.

It's scripted and staged. Poorly. And all that stuff they shoot at is rigged to explode anyway.

Hello from Long Branch

Hello from Monmouth County!

Welcome aboard

I think the worst aspect of this is that anti-gun crusaders really don't know anything about guns! I didn't realize this until I saw how ignorant I was myself when I first started shooting.

It's good feedback too. I can see visually if my barrel is kicking too much, and it helped me figure out I was pulling the trigger too hard when my shots (and the laser beam) were pulling to the right. Also when I fire one handed or off handed, I can see how wildly the recoil swings my barrel around. I think it complements my training, but that's just an opinion

Well, if you have to shot around an obstacle and can't line up your sights, you still have a way to aim. I don't mind looking like a fool... why should I stop now, right when I'm starting to get good at it!!?

I'm also hung up between the 500 and the 870... I'll let you know where I land!

Yeah, I put on laser grips, and really like them. Though iron sights are fine too. I turn my laser off half the time at the range.

I'm planning to spend around $700 for the rifle and up to $400 for the scope.

I'm also debating what to get... I like the Remington 700 and Winchester 70, but I am leaning towards 30-06, and it seems like most here prefer 308...

I got my ruger on gunbroker. Then I took it to shore shot to shoot it, and there was one there in the display case! Might still be there, call them

I did exactly the same, for my first puchase no less. Then a month later I saw my gun in the shop for $30 less :-) but yes, I paid all the fedex and shipping and transfer just to get what I wanted. Only having two permits in hand, it impacts my buying behavior.

Ruger SR1911. Now with Lasers! I got the one with the walnut finish so it looks nice. Though taking off the rosewood grips that came with it was unfortunate I still think it's still not enough. There are two more places I could add extra lasers. I want a green one too. We'll see.

You chose............. wisely

Thanks guys.
