I'm heading to Dicks Thursday around 4pm the doors open at 5. I want that 64 gun safe. Its on the door buster list. Mrs. Deer Slayer is pissed I will not be attending thanksgiving in Bernerdsville at her uncle & his husband's house. I would rather wait on line at a store I hate than sit through dinner with two flaming liberals. The fact that they suck each others dicks, and engage in anal sex doesn't bother me. But the fact that they are Obama lovers makes me sick to my stomach. I can't sit through a dinner listening to left wing banter.

 

We had "thanksgiving" last night. Good to get it done with.

Gonna try to get the cheap 10/22 and some assorted ammo.

Woodbridge last year and year before there was quite a line outside store, and about 30-40 people in line at firearms counter

PSA has a 10/22 on clearance for $180 right now. Was going to grab that but there's something about the Henry lever action that just has me hooked.

Owning both of these, I understand how the Henry has you hooked.

I agree wholeheartedly.

The standard out-of-the-box 10/22 is a minute-of-tin-can plinker from which you can blast out a small fortune worth of .22LR in short order.

The Henry is a tack driver (with its longer barrel and non-semi-auto action) if you can use the open sights well (or add a scope.)

And the ability to load the tube with mucho (>15) rounds and fire shorts, longs and LRs makes the Henry H001 a winner in my book.

(It's not a semi-auto and the magazine is not removable so the Evil Feature and Round counts are both irrelevant.)

I'm heading to Rockaway only 10 min from my house.

I'm gonna hit up east brunswick. Hopefully they have enough of what we need

Dick's has some pre-black Friday deals this week.

The catch with the pre-Black Friday sales is that you don't walk out of the store with the product that day.  You pay for it, they order it, and you take it home when it comes in.  You can't walk out with the product and Black Friday pricing until Black Friday.  That being said, my father and I walked out of the store with the Field and Stream 24 gun safe yesterday, with Black Friday pricing.  They offered to allow us to take the safe home yesterday if we signed up for the Dick's credit card.  Signing up for the card also gave us 10% off, which brought the safe down to about $360.

I'm ok with that - I'm very tempted by that 770 Combo...

I have never read anything good about the 770.  I wouldn't recommend it, look up the reviews.

 

I was considering picking up an 11-87.  Not sure I have much of a use for it, which is why I most likely won't.

I dunno - I've seen pretty good reviews online of the 770...

 

The 11-87 is a good gun but tends to be a little ammo-picky.

Anyone know if the "cabinets" are tax free as well?

Interested to know where you have seen good reviews of the 770.

I was told at Paramus last year that cabinets aren't tax free. The only reason I know is because my safe (not cabinet) didn't scan as tax fee so I had the guy call the manager, and that's when he mentioned it.

Tractor Supply seems to have the best deals on Cabinet style, 14 rifle for $99 compared to Dicks

I bought a cabinet last month online and did pick up in-store. No tax added. Not sure about at store purchase.

Krdshrk, I am by no means an expert in rifles, but I would strongly agree with vfj915 - it basically took me 15 minutes playing with 770 to realize that I'd better save some money and buy 700 or Savage instead. I don't even know how to properly explain this in plain words. It's just rough - the way how bolt moves, the way how it shoots, the finish...

 

On the other hand, for $200 you seriously have nothing to lose. If you don't like it, I guess you can sell it a month later even with some profit.

I got the Sentinel 64 gun + 4 with personal safe tonight from Rockaway store. It should be at the store for me next week to pick up. $799.98 no sales tax. Thanks for posting the pre black Friday sale list Krdshrk!

 

11-87 and a safe look nice. Problem with the safe is they're to heavy for me to move. I may go over to east Hanover and walk off some of the turkey.

I'm picking my safe up next week, borrowing a trailer and bringing a buddy. I have a good appliance cart I use to move boilers. They will deliver but the charge was like $200.

Yeah I need to get something to move it in and get someone to help me. I can also back it into my garage and unload it out of my truck. I keep my safe in there, it's heated, so I'd just out this one in too.

when I got my 64 cannon wide body @ tractor supply. The employee brought it over with forklift, I backed my pick up w/ a cap and he lowered it and tipped it and slid it into bed. To get it out I backed up towards my front door and hit brakes and it slide out little by little. I did this a few times until it came out enough to tip it down then my father and I used a heavy utility hand truck with built in straps. It was going on first floor so the only hard part was getting over the door thresh hold. I had to use a big pipe and use as leverage and lift under hand truck to get over it. mother f'er was heavy 600lbs. Thing becomes top heavy when rolling it and has to go sideways cause its wider than doorway

I'm going to have to turn mine sideways too. I have 6 stairs to go up into the front door. Can't wait should be fun it's about the same 600 lbs. I have heat in my garage but I leave it off unless I go gut there. That would be way easier than bringing it into the house.

Anyone at dicks in freehold?

I was at dicks in east brunswick from about 5pm to 6pm

I was eating Thanksgiving dinner like real American's do.  You can get Black Friday pricing all day tomorrow, even if they don't have the item in stock.  There's no reason to go today.

I'm so efficient I had already ate dinner and cleaned up.

My wife is pregnant and due any day, so she didn't want to have real thanksgiving like we normally do. She told me to go out, and I bought my future daughter a 10/22 that hopefully she will learn to use when the time is right.

And after every interaction with a worker tonight, I thanked them for being there and missing time with their family.

Damn. Trip to DSG cost me $950! An 11-87 with wood stock, and while I was waiting to get to the computer to fill out the 4473, I decided I couldn't pass up the 10/22 for $189. Just in case my P22 doesn't like the brick of Golden Bullets I bought.

 

That and 300 rounds of Blazer Brass 9mm. Lots of doorbusters that I could use!

 

Happily thanked the staff for their time and wished them the best when they got home to their families.

Dick's in Woodbridge still had a ton of stuff.

 

This is their BF Doorbuster Ammo Case.

 

 

I picked up a brick of the Federal .22LR, 2 cases of Remington Gun Club, a Kershaw Zing knife, Barnett Gamecrusher crossbow, and the Stack-on RTA Cabinet...

 

Had a $10 coupon and did the sign up for the dick's cc and get 10% off... Grand total - $437.49... and I got a coupon for $20 off $100..
