The only Obama quote I know “ Elections have consequences “ which was his response to request for bipartisan legislation

Sunday morning out hunting before watching Bills. I saw multiple bucks chasing does. The first rut sign in two weeks of hunting. 5 days ago still saw a bachelor group - 2 four points and a six together hanging out and feeding St Lawrence county

I searched on this site and on the web in general, but was unable to find an answer so hoping some one here can help I understand that in transporting my rifles from PA to my camp in upstate NY, I need to have them secured in locked hard sided cases out of sight If I leave vehicle unattended...

With my sons at that age a .22 and 20 gauge youth model pump with 3” chamber. Started shotgun with 2 3/4 “ trap skeet loads and worked up to deer slugs. Lots of power stages in between those two choices

Look at limbsaver grind to fit recoil pads. Buy slightly oversized and grind (sand) to fit profile. I have done this on several 50 cal muzzle loaders that were punishing and it really helped put some weight on the front of the rifle to balance it, will also tame recoil. My 308 runs 19 lbs...

As a resident of Pennsylvania, I routinely buy ammo without an ID. Use cash if you don’t want to leave a trail enjoy!

As the price of the new ones are up there, The price for older ones have already taken a large bump. I expect that will be it. Id personally would pay more for the older blued receivers (slicker action and gorgeous) compared to the more parkerized look of past 15 years but that is just me...

It seems all NE states have either death tax or inheritance tax. Working on tax / trust lawyers to come up with plan now

You have to add Taxachusetts to NY and CA. My wife and I fled MA on retirement. Property and income taxes in MA as bad as NY. Throw in my favorite the excise tax on cars trucks boats ( basically you pay the sales tax again every January you own a vehicle based on value) Part of reason to...

I’m gonna get toasted for this, but Hersey screwed this one up. The package ( which had to be approved by several levels in a company that big, likely including “ regulatory compliance“ and legal) showed a cute short fat pumpkin with white eyes and mouth. What came out of package from the...

Oh you poor city people. Backtags? LOL In the north country, including the DAKS, “We don’t need no stinking backtags”. Check the DEC regs.

I watched it from the perspective of growing up in Newburgh. Came back after college but left for good in ‘78. Honestly not as bad as I expected. Couple of comments. I only watched first half of video, but even by then the driver was trying real hard to make things look bad. One street...

So I have one question. They big deal made of thermal optics infers the turkeys were poached at night. But all my wild turkeys spend the night roosting in trees. So what was the illegality of poaching? out of season? After hours? More than allowed? No license? they seem to make a...

I think turnips ( brassica) alone would be a mistake. It’s a long answer why, but the short answer is been there done that, wouldn’t do it again.

If your property is located in the northern zone, so you are hunting late October onward, I would go with mix of clover and chicory. It will attract deer until covered in snow. The chicory will establish quicker than clover. It almost takes a full year to establish a good clover plot. If...

I have a JP marked 1895 in 45-70 that I bought new in 2004. The action was a bear to work, and it wanted to hang up loading a shell from magazine. Three major things needed to get it functioning well. #1. The rifle came with a factory supplied hammer extension designed to be used with...

For the love of all that is Holy can someone change the title of this thread? There is no TRO, nothing is being restrained. Just add the word revoked in capital letters after TRO. or tell the truth, change it to “CCIA remains in full force”

Don’t be afraid of AICS mags. When they first came out there were only expensive metal mags available (which you can still buy and are near indestructible) but you can also buy magpul plastic ones that I have found extremely reliable. I have a bunch of five rounds one that I use for hunting...

A new pistol for EDC. I’m still rocking the colt officers 45 that I bought new the year they came out. A left handed Rem 700 preferably in SA caliber 9mm AR

Now let’s give the French credit. The 66 thousand guns surrendered is 1.1 to 1.3% of the 5-6million firearms the government estimates “are being kept in an irregular manor”. So 99% of them ignored the crack down.

This information is incorrect. This .22 system operates the way a .22 semi auto rifle or pistol operates. The system does not need a gas block or gas tube to operate as semi auto. Basically the “recoil” ( to use term loosely) drives the bolt back and cycles system. This type of design is...

Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered one.

As a new PA resident, I think there is a takeaway on Oz defeat. Oz was behind in primary to a native born PA guy, military vet, successful businesss. 0z who many ( myself included) considered a non PA carpet bagger was anointed by Trump and got enough votes to barely win primary with a...

Go Goldbacks!

I got to say if I was a retailer, I’d have priced it at $30.30/ box. But I have weird ides of what’s funny

Damn. I thought GM was bringing back the 350 small block.

I understand the above was humor, but in the spirit of pointing out the draconian Massachusetts laws which are particularly bad on ammo… Anyone in MA without a MA FID ( long gun permit) or LTC ( handgun or large capacity rifle) in possession of ammunition or ammunition components (even spent...

Funny that this should be mentioned. I have been in PA just over a year, In that time the topic of having a toll barrier on I81 at NY border has come up twice. Supposedly Penn DOT requested it to pay for the maintenance of the first couple of bridges in the state on I81. It seemed a...

Except when the judge simple decides to allow it or not based on what the judge likes instead of constitutional basis. This is the problem with activist judges. At least make them go to Federal court to block a federal election.

It’s either that or bend over or go time I pulled out before safe act went into effect. As did my brother and sister and spouses. Two in PA and one in TX. The last family homestead was 116 years in the family. 200+ years in one cemetery, going back to a combat loss in war of 1812...

The above is the closest I’ve ever seen to an opinion on this topic (6.5 CM vs .308 ) that mirrors mine. I started my long range shooting ( PRS or paper) with a .308. After a year switched to 6.5CM. The main difference was at 800 yards and out I had an increase in first round hit % with...

The NY gun laws on pistols is an example of the slippery slope of gun control. The 1911 Sullivan law was only a concealed carry permit. It was not needed to purchase or possess. There was no pistol registrations or you could only posses those pistols on your permit. That I believe that was...

This is somewhat patterned after Massachusetts law. To possess purchase or own a high capacity rifle you need a class A LTC ( license to carry). Min 21 years old. $100 per five years. I don’t think courts will over rule this. Then the attorney general of MA said there are no MA...

I never mentioned 16”. I had assumed a bolt action rifle for intermediate distance (200 - 600 yards) is likely 22” not 16”. But I didn’t get into barrel length or twist rate choices on a 223 bolt gun. That would get back to what the OP wants to do.

A .22 rim fire rifle is the best beginners rifle. Relatively inexpensive to buy and feed (ammo). Optimal 50 ft to 50 yards. It can get some work at 100 yards. Unless you buy a very specific type ( expensive). It’s not going to go 100-400 yards. But it will not be suitable for home...

Your request is like saying you want to by a motorized vehicle. Truck, car, tractor? Mini van, sports car, motor home? It would help if you tell us what you want to do with it and at what distances? Plink cans at 25 or 50 yards, Hit human sized steel targets at 1000 yards? Target shoot mid...

Seems like a $$ dispute with state, where after agreement to make payment to state Seneca tribe failed to do so. If another business or individual did that, I would not be surprised at state freezing assets. Not so much war as another example of the unlimited power of government. Welcome to...

First whatever u plant get seed designed for deer. ( cow clover is not good deer clover) clover is a great spring food plot but goes dormant in hot dry summer. In southern ny season it could again go dormant before hunting season. If you are looking for a hunting plot I suggest one of the...

I understand family of inmates didn’t like Ogdensburg prison. A few miles from Canadian border, a looong way from downstate, and in a mild winter you only see 20 below not 30. All good reasons to keep it. But as it’s in a republican county ( Elise Stephanic district) closing it is...

Out to 700 yards I found 308 fine. Past 700 yards its not that the .308 can’t get hits, but I found I got more hits easier with 6.5 CM. MK44 asked the right question

I think this first response nailed it. I have a few of these that my grandfather. (Mex border war and ww1 vet) repurposed for storing things in his workshop. Quite often he carved content ID into box ( the permanent marker of his day). I still have one pristine example of box with...

A full lower parts kit and an oops kit. A spare bcg and a spare firing pin

So I have to ask. What does this have to do with Alabama?

I usually go with something Italian on fancy dress occasions. Small Beretta.

I started long distance shooting (400 to 1000 yards) with a vortex scope that had MOA turrets and a MIL retical. I always thought elevation in inches but always held windage in MILS so it worked for me. but I did switched it out for a scope that had a zero stop that is Mils for retical and...

Your last post has it. Ten years ago I decided to not add a gun until I sold one. Then I went to funding a new purchase by selling. I sold three hunting rifles to pay for my PRS rifle and scope. Then I sold off several when I downsized in move from MA to PA. Sold another rifle to buy...

Nothing. It’s the same picture.

If you are not going to lap rings I wouldn’t put an expensive scope on it.
