Muddy girl. Pink(ish), yet still says not a Mattel toy.

Yep. a wider choke will not help with trap. You can hit clays but you won't hit as many and won't know how to correct when you miss or slightly miss. I'm generally a pretty okay trap shooter and I went through almost an entire box of shells before I figured out what I was doing wrong at a recent informal shoot. Trap is a very specific discipline, skeet is very different from trap, sporting clays is a mish mosh. Just because I'm pretty good at trap does not mean I will be good at skeet or sporting clays and I will do especially poorly if I try to use the same equipment and methods for all. btw. I love cold bore (rifle) shots. In the real world hunting or defense scenarios, it's the one that counts the most.

For trap, you want a full choke, extra full choke, even a turkey choke will suffice for trap but umm trap choke is best for trap. For skeet you want a wider pattern, so skeet or IC will do. The load you are shooting has a lot to do with how your shot will spread too. Some wad cups are designed to open sooner, and some have a delayed opening. Get the appropriate choke for the type of shooting you are doing, pattern it and practice. Three easy steps to success.

Was that on a bet, or did he literally drink an entire case of Sam Adams?

Chillax brother. The Body Shop went out of business years ago. It was a sad sad day for California burgers. I have not had one as good since.

The absolute best burgers I ever had were at a strip club on the northern end of the Jersey shore. When I worked at Bell Labs in Holmdel, the guys in our department used to go there once a month on Fridays for, uhh lunch. Best 8 oz California cheeseburger ever. Beer...fuggedaboudit, it's Yuengling or nothing

Excellent point, and a good bargaining chip for a counter suit because NYS is violating exactly the article/section you quoted, interfering with interstate commerce by cutting off the ability to conduct financial transactions. The firearms and ammo industries can use the same argument against NYS but the state will not just admit they were wrong, they have to be forced into doing the right thing.

Rosey, you seem to have all the answers about what not to do. How about giving up some suggestions about what they should do about this. If the comptroller has his way, the ammo companies, and all firearms related industries for that matter, are screwed anyway. In other words, the firearms industry is going to take a hit either way. The only question is, are they going to bow down to a bureaucrat or will they take a stand and support the 2A community. There is no way the industry can escape taking a side. So, what is the perfect answer for what TO DO?

Bob Kissmyasslins always asked for FID, even when they were in Ocean Twp. 30 years ago.

I wish for ammo suppliers to do something to counter the underhanded attacks on 2A. I'm pretty sure there is no negative consequence to that.

Write to them and gently encourage them to follow Hornady's example.

Read about this on another forum. I, along with several other members, have sent Remington, Winchester, CCI, and Federal an e-mail expressing our support for Hornady's decision and encouraged them to do the same. This is my "form letter"

Also, Marlin XLR. Tube fed though, but new poly tip bullet designs make tube fed safe. You'd have more ammo options in the BLR but still, plenty of good options in the XLR.

Yeah, I check FB marketplace every few days for jeeps, seems like 50% or better have been modded in some way. I'll find one that's still bone stock eventually. I'll definitely check out the jeep parts group. I'm also thinking about making a card to leave on windshields. I travel all over Monmouth Co and see a lot of them, especially in Fair Haven for some reason.

yeah, there's a few aftermarket mags available. Promag makes a 20. EDIT: It looks like AICS mags work on the Scout too.

You can get 20 rd mags. 30's are too big for a bolt action.

Ruger Scout

If you order it from Brownell's you can pay in US dollars instead of clams, they only charge $122.00 or Amazon $105.00.

Actually, the MAD isn't terribly expensive, it looks to be in the same range as Magpul MBUS Pro. You get what you pay for.

no problem, happy to help. @Mrs.Zeke https://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/sights/rear-sights/ar-15-multiple-aperture-mad-rear-sight-prod26606.aspx

expensive

Have you learned nothing? It's Fuggedaboudit. Fixed it for ya.

As other's have mentioned, the 4.0L straight six is not only reliable, it's simple and not terribly costly to have rebuilt if necessary. The trans was also fairly reliable but had it's quirks. My main concern is that it's a popular hand-me-down from parents to kids so an unmolested one is a bit of a challenge to find. I figure, if I can buy one for between $1,500 and $2,500 and dump another 5 to 7 grand into it, I will have a pretty decent daily driver/light duty work vehicle that gets about 20mpg highway for under 10K. Compared to used quad cab pickup trucks (which are usually expensive AND beat to hell), it's a bargain. Many owners get nickle and dimed to death with small repairs. The plan is to just have it mechanically "renovated" all at once and be done with it.

Can anyone recommend a top notch Jeep or general truck mechanic in Monmouth or Ocean counties? For some reason I have a bug up my ass for a pre 2000 Jeep Cherokee. I'm pretty sure it will be a black hole for money but if I'm going to spend, I want to get my moneys worth.
