I assume scopes are okay.

Shooting 100 yards is not the same as 300. Different dope. I can make quarter sized groups with my SPR at 100 but if I was to suddenly find myself shooting 300, I probably would have trouble with elevation and windage.

11 degree target crown and thread protector.

Are thee any matches NRA or CMP where I can compete 200yds with my .223 SPR? If there are, then I will dig deeper. I'd like to do the CJRPC 300 but don't have a 300yd range to practice at.

Would it be easier to pluck the info from the club's website instead of decoding the CMP info. I've been on the CMP site for a half hour now and am swamped with irrelevant information.

Do you have a link that gives a description and requirements for each type of competition? I'd be interested in participating with my SPR on 200 yard to see how I stack up.

When the state makes a law for everything that is not done exactly as the state wants, everyone becomes a criminal and can get pinched any time. That is called tyranny. We are no longer a free people.

THAT'S IT!!! We finally have a diagnosis. Porklexia.

Lots of helpful folks here, but be warned, not all of the answers you receive will be correct. For example.

The problem with A/T tires is finding a good balance between performance , ride comfort and noise. Aggressive tires will get the job done in sand, mud and off road, but won't always be good in snow or rain. Tires that perform well when it's raining won't be as good in the snow or mud. The best wet road tires are designed to move water out of the tread, but don't do much for off road. Snow tires may work off road and on beaches, but wet road stopping performance is usually terrible and they are so noisy they will drive you insane on a long highway road trip. You have to figure out what performance attributes work for you. If 95% of your driving is on road and your off road driving is not exactly extreme, then I'd stay away from chunky knobby tires. If your vehicle is dedicated to off road, like getting to remote hunting spots or trout streams, then you can live with the ride and noise for the 5% of your time you spend in the vehicle.

She may transport a long gun directly to and from the range without a Firearms Purchaser ID Card (FPID), also to and from a gun shop or gunsmith (FFL). The P in FPID means Purchaser, not transporter. If she gets stopped, which I recommend she does not (no speeding, all lights working, full stops at stop signs etc.) She is under no obligation to blurt out "I HAVE A GUN!!!". If she does get stopped, and she is asked if she has any weapons, she should not lie. Just keep it simple like "yessir, on my way to the range". KISS Keep it simple. If she is going to shoot, she should join a range so she can show she is a member, which exempts her from having to produce a FPID card As others have suggested, make sure her rifle is legal to own in NJ. Wikipedia is not the ultimate authority on the subject, but it's the easiest place to start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_New_Jersey#cite_note-3 If she is interested in learning to shoot, or wants to shoot on a regular basis, I suggest she join the forum and gets involved in one of the women's groups.

She does not need to do anything as long as the rifle is NJ legal. It's hers now. Registration in NJ is strictly voluntary. And, as the saying goes... "never volunteer"

Have you ever considered hiring a marketing and pr firm to help with, umm, stuff?

That's some awful drainage there. Not just talking about ground absorption, but lack of swails to drain away to a lower elevation.

The problem is, no matter how good the grade is, it will eventually wash away with rain and erode with foot traffic. Normally, you'd put gravel down to control erosion but, bullets and ricochets and all that. Grass is no good either as it has to be maintained and watered and such, even the best high traffic grass will get killed dead from the foot traffic. The only solution is regular maintenance of the grade, and most ranges don't have the equipment to do that. It's more economical to listen to members grumble.

The Guessing Game. It was the end of the school year and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her students. The florist’s son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead and said, “I bet I know what it is. Some flowers.” “That’s right,” the boy said, “but how did you know?” “Oh, just a wild guess,” she said. The next pupil was the candy shop owner’s daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, “I bet I can guess what it is. A box of chocolates.” “That’s right, but how did you know?” asked the girl. “Oh, just a wild guess,” said the teacher. The next gift was from the son of the liquor store owner. The teacher held the package overhead and shook it vigorously, but it started leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage with her finger and put it on her tongue. “Is it wine?” she asked. “No,” the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, taking a larger drop of the leakage to her tongue. “Is it champagne?” she asked. “No,” the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more taste before declaring, “I give up, what is it?” With great glee, the boy blurted out, “It’s a puppy!”

That is you, and knowing you, I would expect noting less. With that said, I would wager a weeks pay that in communist Oregon, it's a matter of policy in most PDs that they just take the guns with no further discussion. There are probably many cops there that would like to inform people of their options, but department policy, set by the political machine designed to take in and destroy as many guns as possible ties their hands. That's truly sad. I can only imagine what beautiful and historic guns have been destroyed.

It should be compulsory for LE to inform people who want to get rid of unwanted guns that they have an alternative. I get the guns used in crimes and guns confiscated from people who have become felons, or otherwise unable to legally own firearms. But, for the little old lady that has her husband's WW2 bring backs, or the executor of an estate that nobody wants the guns, there should be a law that informs them that those firearms can be transferred to a FFL and sold. This is the way they get the guns, they kill them by omission. By not telling people that they can sell their guns instead of transferring them to an FFL, they are accomplishing their gun destroying agenda. I'm also fairly certain that people who's guns have been confiscated have the right to sell them to an FFL.

That's a smart move on the teargas maker's part. Support politicians that keep the illegals coming and sell more teargas. If the border problem is solved, then no sell no mas teargas.

As far as the 2A community is concerned, the optics on this are terrible. Anti-gun democrap controlled Oregon destroys guns and Benchmade, a donor to the democraps, aids and abets the destruction. Benchmade is fucked. True 2A supporters are keeping a log of shit like this. It does not matter if Benchmade donated $5 or $50,000, just the fact that they donated to politicians that are anti 2A is enough. First, some are assuming that all gun owners that turn in guns want them destroyed. that's a mistake. The reality is that anti gun Oregon wants every gun destroyed at every opportunity. This is the senseless murder of guns by a prejudiced political party . Gun lives matter, even if some of them don't work quite right. They are just "differently abled". I wonder, how many M1 Garands were cut up, or how many WW2 1911s or other historic guns because some dimwitted widow did not know what else to do. Bad optics.

Sorry brah, even a nick on a crown can trash accuracy. The way that barrel split, it looks like the owners name should be Punk'n Puss. It's no wonder that cat never killed the filthy rodent. That rifle should pattern like a shotgun the way it is now.

Water under the bridge. I have realigned my purchasing practices since then. I used to spend a lot of money at PSA, now I just buy the hassle free loss leaders.

They will not ship the mag, even if it's going to an FFL that is also a gunsmith to have the compliance work done. I argued with PSA four years ago, till I was blue in the face, that it was legal to ship to the FFL and have compliance work done. If they are going to take a $30 mag frm you, then they should at least compensate the buyer. It's not right that they get to keep something you paid for and then profit from reselling it at 100% profit.

Hmm, just a wild guess, but... People that own Rugers. That's a $30.00 mag that PSA will not compensate you for, that they will repackage and sell for 100% profit.
