M1 Carbine? Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk

I was already commenting in a text to a friend how pretentious his script was before it suddenly took a hard left into anti-gun rant. Wow. That was awful. Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk

Cruiser-ready isn't specifically the goal for me. Rounds in the magazine certainly is, and that's a hump we're still getting over. It was OK when discussed at the range, and OK while the power was out during Sandy, but now its back to, "Well...do we really have to keep bullets in it?" If she...

Is it likely that the NRA shotgun home defense course, or any other NRA home defense course, covers storage in the home? Such as discussing the pros and cons of "Cruiser Ready", "Condition 1", etc? My significant other is recently waffling between opinions on firearm storage in the home...

That's an interesting and probably cost-effective solution. But the lover of the book "American Rifle" in me grimaces at the idea of using a taped on flashlight as a sighting system. That's also part of what made me want to use the 22 instead of a shotty...all other rifle rounds, excepting the...

Even though my hunting concerns are with PA, my residence is in NJ and suppressed sounds like a big no-no. Hate to admit it and siderail my own thread but now I'm seriously also consider a semi-auto 20ga with a youth stock and a recoil pad as an HD weapon, hearing be-gone. I want to set up the...

Thanks, I will look into that for sure! Sounds like a good item. The light isn't 100% necessary because I don't plan on using this to clear my home, its a hunker down and call 911 while pointing it at the door gun, that my girlfriend can use as well. I am presuming the same equipment (red dot...

It doesn't need to be tacti-cool. Even a classic wood stock Winchester 94 needs something on it to help you put a round on the target. That's all I think I'm asking for, along with the light... Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk

It doesn't have to fit both requirements, nothing wrong with having another set of iron sights to swap out for an AS Red dots require batteries right? I've never used them but have heard mixed things from how quick they are to the target, down to the concerns about batteries. I don't have a...

Hi all, With PA gun laws preventing me from using my Marlin 60 for squirrel hunting, I'm going to be getting a bolt-action 22 (likely the XT-22) for that purpose. I'd like to keep the Marlin 60 in use as we have a lot of fun plinking and target shooting at the range with it. My girlfriend also...

Anyone in the thread using irons for hunting squirrel? Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk

Great, thanks!! Sent from my BlackBerry 9650 using Tapatalk

Thanks! I am definitely going to an Appleseed which is why I want tech sights. I hope to hunt squirrels with them as well, on a bolt action 22, to stay in practice once I've done the AS event. I will just need to figure out how to get that cheek weld consistent from the bench for zeroing in to...

Hello all, New to shooting...on my 3rd trip out i installed a Nikon Prostaff 4x32 on my Marlin 60 .22LR, i had it zeroed at 25 yards within 15 minutes and made a 5 shot ragged hole at 50 yards (off of sand bag rests on the bench). So i was immediately pretty happy with that and the new goal is...

Thank you for that input!

Salty1: I guess my main question is, are Tech Sights or similar Peeps, "cheating" when you say to learn iron sights first? Or does that count as becoming proficient in iron sights? I don't want to have a major gap in my marksmanship. Besides of course, you know, the 22 years long gap since I...

Hey all..bringing this thread back because I have a similar question for my first rifle. I already added a scope and have had a great time punching some paper with it. However, reading around the internet and a couple of important comments like, "What would you do if your scope broke and you...

Unsure. And the more I look at the pic the more I realize how very many factors could contribute to a 5-shot grouping and it's really only off by .5". I'm not super experienced so I'm probably making much ado about nothing. Still genuinely interested in how this post here turns out, and I will...

OP, Please let me know how this turns out for you and how it is resolved, whether by re-sighting at 50 yards or if you have to make scope installation adjustments. I have a Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 4 x 32 scope mounted on a UTG Leapers mount. I did not: lap, torque, or use special leveling tools...

I will give that a try. I just get impatient because my next range time isn't until mid-September so now I feel like I have an "unsighted" rifle just sitting there gathering dust : ) I didn't get the chance to try that the last time and I certainly should. Especially as any error would have...
