That was along my line of thinking. I don't need something that is like 20X, will have adjustments that will move my aim 1mm at 500 yards, etc.

On the off chance anyone cares, I'm picking up the last Ruger American Ranch in 5.56 that they have. Now I just need to get a scope for it because I don't think my red dot/3X magnifier won't do it at longer ranges. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I've noticed their prices are slightly higher but they seem to have the biggest selection around. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

No, they don't talk to your GP. How would they even know who they were? There's no database of such a thing for the police to search. Same with therapists. Unless you've been court ordered to a mental institution, there's no record for them to find. No, they don't talk to people you live with (Which is scary because they should tbh). They ask for two references and that's it.

I was thinking of going to Shooters tomorrow to actually check out some of the Rugers in person. They have a Ruger American in .223 18" for $439.99 or the Ruger American Ranch in 5.56 for $477.99.

I'm competitive with myself. And I honestly don't know where I'd be allowed to shoot more than a few hundred yards around here. Looks like Cumberland Riflemen has a 600 yard range but they aren't accepting new members. Hutton Hill has a 300 yard range. Only 3 guest visits before you must become a member. Range 129 will open eventually with a 100 yard indoor range. Shooters is 100 yards I think.

I think I might go with the Ruger American. Is the Crossfire II good enough to go with or should I just get my own?

I like the look of the Ruger American. I'm getting the feeling from everyone I talk to I might as well just got with the .308 instead.

Interesting, it looks tacticool but still bolt action. Picatinny rail for pretty much any scope. Honestly, I don't know enough about what makes some more expensive than others. Especially since many look the same.

Busy week so I didn't get to think about this much, but I'm open to suggestions on .223 bolt-action rifles for precision shooting. Remington and Savage make some cheaper ones that get good reviews (though the ones that come with scopes, every comment seems to be about how shitty the stock scope is).

This kind of stuff makes me cringe. People being reckless with something deadly is scary as hell. People taking selfies doing dumb stuff at the range, using phones while driving, etc. Danger to society.

Well, I mean ideally I'd have a variety of SHTF guns. My .22s are good for general, cheap practice but not as practical. But eventually I want to have a semi-auto rifle, a precision rifle, and a handgun for the SHTF. Can't always be super picky about ammo when in emergencies. $400? Where do I need to be looking to find these prices? Certainly not at the ranges. MSRP has it at like $530.

Yea, I've noticed finding a suitable .223 would be easy. But I was under the impression that 5.56 should not be used in a .223 due to the slight difference in size. And in an emergency where ammo is severely limited, being able to use both would be ideal. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

So, I want to add a bigger caliber rifle for longer distance precision shooting and I'm thinking a bolt action would be a lot of fun. Not that I have brand loyalty yet but S&W doesn't have any in 5.56. I like 5.56 over 7.62 because they are lighter and you can carry a lot more easier. Just more practical. I was thinking maybe a Remington but they only do .223 not 5.56. And you shan't load a 5.56 in a .223. Any suggestions on makes/models of bolt actions that are 5.56?

Better make sure it's a craft IPA to get the hipsters. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

From what I can tell, a general threat such as "druggies want drugs from me because I'm a doctor" won't hold up at all. It has to be a specific threat. And since domestic violence victims can't even get a ccw against someone threatening to kill them and probably will, no way "some druggie might kill me" will get approved. Politicians want it so they are the only ones to be defended. They don't care about the people. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I mean, I got my card this year and it's still yellow and white. It shouldn't be an issue. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

http://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-nws-allentown-explosion-atf-findings-20181004-story.html "The means was a homemade bomb made of two legally obtainable chemicals." Could be a number of things. Can't find what they were but to do the damage he did, it had to be a legit cocktail.

25 yards. Sitting. Using a benchrest. Right now, sometimes I stand, sometimes I sit. Standing, I'll shoot either with or without the 3X scope. Sitting, I have my arm resting on the edge of the bench to keep it steady.

Yea I've thought about it. Then I could get into clay shooting too. I've heard a lot about Remington .22 ammo being dirty as hell when I was researching ammo. The CCI mini mags work real well and I just clean my rifle/pistol when I get home. Never been too troublesome even after a couple hundred rounds. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I might just have to take you up on that. Sounds fun. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I use mini mags 40gr myself. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Local DA says that the "perpetrator" was among the three killed. I'm going to go ahead and say it wasn't the 2 year old. I'm very curious as to what happened. That's a lot of damage. Rolling meth lab? The fact that they are saying one of the victims was the perp makes me think the explosion part was an accident but the person responsible was still doing something illegal.

Fun watching the improvement over time. First pic is when I first got the rifle (M&P 15-22), second is from yesterday. Both are at 25 yards. Groupings definitely tightening up. Not rushing shots as much, a little more focus on breathing. Looks like I need to adjust my red dot a little bit to the right and maybe a smidge up. Still really want to go somewhere with a longer range. Can't wait for Range 129 to open up with their 100 yard indoor range. Slightly more embarrassing, my last trip where I shot my Walther P22. 10 yards and 7 yards. Definitely needs a lot of work. Are there any one-on-one instructor programs in Southeastern NJ? As much as I nerd out about everything and can figure out a lot of stuff from video and reading, sometimes you just need that in-person help.

No they are not. We just have a 180 day grace period where they are not enforcing the law to give people a chance to be in compliance with the law. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
