Shoot!

Sorry for the delayed reply gents. Had some family from the West Coast staying at our house for the weekend. My FID card is valid (I'm assuming that's the same as a FPID). I work rather late but let me see what's on the agenda for this coming week/weekend and I'll PM you. Replied.

I'm in Paramus.

Yep that's me. I think I've got my mind set on the FV. The price is right and it seems like at worst I replace the stock with a Boyd's. I'm going to stick some tech sights on it and pray for some ammo to practice. Next up is joining some of the gents on this forum at Clinton WMA to try out some shotguns!!!

Thanks gents. That helps a great deal actually. Is there any newbie starting guides with all this info neatly packaged? I'm sure I can find info on stocks etc but it seems highly scattered.

I'm pretty positive Paramus has a range for officers.

I've heard that about the wood on these Savages which is pretty much why I didn't want to go with wood.

Also does the .5 lb between the F and FV make a significant difference? They have a TR at 7.5lb and 40".

So rookie question but why the heavy barrel?

I'm totally confused on what I should be buying to be honest but I'll have a look at the FV. I'm totally guessing here with the selection of the F. My other 22 options were the Ruger 10/22, their American Rimfire, or the CZ 455. I eliminated the 10/22 because it's a semi and I thought a bolt action might be better for practicing. The CZ is pretty expensive for a 22. The RAR doesn't seem like a bad option though. Total confusion.

Hello I'm pretty sure I'm ready for my first rifle (it's going to be my first gun as well). After some research I think I'm thinking the Savage Mark II 22LR would suit my needs perfectly. I'm considering a Savage 220 for hunting later in the year so I'm thinking a bolt action rifle from the same manufacturer might be a nice practice fire arm which some cheaper (albeit hard to come by) ammo. Now here's the hitch. The Mark II comes in so confusing number of configurations, nearly 20 of them in fact. I'm thinking of going with a scope instead of iron peeps. I'm thinking since I'm going with the "el cheapo" rifle I should ignore getting stainless steel and just get a blued barrel and a synthetic stock. So I'm guessing this is the right one to go with Savage Mark II F. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about so any help would be appreciated. Thanks Sam

Cabelas was having a crazy sale on Ka-Bar knives with free shipping. You might want to check if that's still going on. I just got mine today.

Trick is the FFL fee is usually the bulk of the cost. The NISC is a standard fee and a fairly insignificant portion of the total bill. I was most interested in a Hatsan 95 in a .22 I think. If I was to go nuts I want the Weihrauch HW50S. Neither of those seem to be available through NJ dealers. If you do sell them let me know. I'm personally not impressed with the Gamo reviews.

I may have spoke too soon. It says 20% off but I'm not getting it in my cart.

Boys. It's back. Not as good but same deal starting at $430 instead of $400

I think I just expect them to be fair and symmetrical.

Wait so you're telling me if I purchase it in NY/PA and bring it into NJ it doesn't need to be registered with a FFL?!?! That makes the law even more insane.

So I need to tack on the cost of a transfer and NICS onto the price of a pellet gun?!?! Absolutely ludicrous....

Hello I read somewhere that you can't purchase air rifles online in NJ without going through an FFL. Is that right? Thanks Sam

That's a good 20% less than lowest so seems decent indeed.

I don't know if this is good but I thought I'd post it. Nikon P-223 3x32 BDC Carbine Rifle Scope $94.95 w/ Free Shipping @ OpticsPlanet - http://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/t/6498182

Enjoy... I got some hunting clothes from them and they came in already as well. Probably not shipping from too far away.

if you decide to spend that much Costco also has one in the $599 range delivered I believe.
