Would you guys recommend the Tech Sights 100 or 200?

What longun do you shoot regularly? If a garand or M1a... gets the 200s.... if an AR, the 100s. If an AK... your one your own.

One thing to keep in mind: when you order your Tech Sights order the front sight adjustment tool as well. Avoid my mistake of paying shipping twice!

So, the 100's would be fine for a Ruger 10/22 right? are the 200's needed?

Yeah, sorry, should have said that. I have the 100s on my 10/22 and they're fine, scored Rifleman on four of my AQTs in one weekend and adjustment was no problem. That being said, the 200s are more convenient and for only $10 more that may be enough to pay the difference. Plus it's more straightforward to adjust rear sights (since you just move them in the same direction you need to shoot). Bottom line, if I were buying again, I'd get the 200s.

awesome, thanks. I have a scope on my 10/22 now, so i'll most likely pick up the 200's then, like you said, for 10 bucks...

This link on the appleseed website suggests the Marlin 795 as a cheaper and more complete rifle as a viable alternative for those that need to buy a cheap LTR.

 

I wasn't actually able to find NJ on the list of events...is this still in the planning stage?

The 795 is a good choice as well. I personally went with a Rem 597 from Dicks, because I like the size of the gun more then the 10/22 or the 795, it is sized more like a fullsized rifle. I did have to add sling swivel studs, sling swivels, two additional mags and tech sites. Dicks had closeouts on a model with a BSA Red Dot for about $139, then Rem has a $25 rebate available. So in all my Rifle with all additions was $105 (rifle) + $70 (techsights) + $12 (1 1/4 SlingSwivels) + $12 (WebSling) + $25 (Magazines) = $225. TechSights are a MUST if you plan to shoot irons. An absolute must.

Mr. Ax,

I did Sat/Manheim last fall. Will go this summer maybe June in NJ - hopefully both days.

 

Do you know how/if/when you get to shoot at 300 or more (if the range has it available of course).

 

This is a great program.

 

Thanks.

Hey Gerry,

 

I am in. Going to bring the 597 and the Bushmaster DCM. Do you know if Sam is in or not? I know those expecting mothers want Daddy around all the time

tactical monkey is confirmed. seems like their will be a nice collection of high powered rifles there. I will have nice new m1a this weekend.

Confirmed and registered for 4/16-4/17

 

I'll be bringing both the .22 conversion kit and a few Uppers to mess around with. Perhaps the ACOG with "accidentally" fall into my range bag, JIC

By the way... and I forgot about this until just now.

 

When you complete an Appleseed Weekend, and it does not matter if you get a patch or not, you do get a CMP Eligibility Certificate. Right then and there! Make a copy, send $$$.$$ to CMP and get yourself a Garand before they are all gone.

Thanks for the info on the CMP, I think we also have to join an organization as well?

NRA? Maybe. Dont know for certain.

I'm interested in doing this in June, but my April may open up.

 

I have an AR-15... how much ammo do I need to bring?

from what i can read, you have to also me a member of one of these clubs/organizations;

 

CMP Clubs for NJ

I dont think you have to be a member of the club if you get the RWVA cert. But I have not gone through CMP with it yet, so I am admittedly fuzzy on details. I will do some research.

Here we go.... $20 and join the RWVA and you are in fully at the CMP.

 

From the RWVA FAQ:

Does coming to an Appleseed shoot qualify as the marksmanship activity I need in order to obtain a CMP M1 Garand or 1903A3 rifle?

 

Yes. So, if you'd like to get a real piece of history, while at the same time learning to shoot it, sign up for an Appleseed shoot. While you're at it, sign up for a $20 associate RWVA membership to support Appleseed (and meet the CMP-club membership requirement).

Good info axeman_g, when i check the cmp site it listed everything by state, and didn't see this. I already meet the criteria but will join RWVA at the June event...

Who all is going to be tjere tomorrow? I am going to try to ring out the new m1a tomorrow.

400 plus rounds. I would bring 500 just to be sure. This is why so many people use 22LR. Link to list of things to bring to the Appleseed - What to bring

I've always wanted an excuse to buy a Ruger 10/22

well we shot last weekend and Sat was a mess. Rainy cold, small river to contend with, high winds. But a really good time. The Shoot Boos was Nick C. (Josey Wales) and he was really helpful and knowledgeable. He had two assistants, Steve and Rob that were ROs in training. A few guys qualified on Sat, I was not one of them as the rain turned me into the Wicked Witch of the West and my scores defla as the water levels increased. Closest I got was a 199 out or 210 on my first qdt. So I was right there in the dry. I hope zombies dont attack me in a down pour.... I am food chain then.

 

sunday got off to a good start after some chalk talk we did a zeroing in target. First three shots with M1a were about 3 inches low at 25 yards in a nice little group. Dialed in 12 clicks of elevation and let off three more. Never saw the holes, until I got down to the target and all three were clover leafed inside the black 1 inch square. Hot dam... lets shoot, bring on the qdt.

 

Of course ten minutes later Tactical Monkey's wife decided to have labor pains, she is about 8.5 months pregnant and is understandably ready to go. She we pulled up stakes, equipment and rifles and since I drove that day, hightailed it to his house to see if there was a new baby. No joy, false labor. Oh well, they can name the baby Axeman_g Jr another day.

 

Good time, good learning experience, great organization.

The labor story is funny. My wife was a couple of days from her due date and I went to go shoot a Service Rifle Match at CR. I had a friend who is a RN stay with her and baby sitters at the ready for the other 3 in case her corked popped. I was home under an hour when her water broke...that was a close one that I would never have lived down. I still get busted about it to this day. It was good day on both accounts, healthy baby and I shot my first Expert Score.
