    llion manufacture Remington rifle and shotguns

    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...

    New York and California consider wealth tax

    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...

    Hersey’s is being sue for 5 million because lack of artistic details on its candies

    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...

    Newburgh Hood video

    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...

    Food plots, what to plant?

    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.

    Food plots, what to plant?

    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...

    the problem with my jam'n 45-70, If you remember my post from last year?

    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...

    ACIS vs AR Mags. What’s the difference?

    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...

    "French Surrender Firearms in Record Numbers During Government Crackdown"

    PSA 22LR BCG

    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...

    Ammo background check law

    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...

    Supreme Court to weigh whether state legislatures instead of state courts get final say in election rules

    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.

    New Bolt(ish) build - .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor?

    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...

    ¾ of NYers Say New Law Requiring Permit to Get Semi-Automatic Weapons Will be Good for the State & 79% Hope Supreme Court Upholds NY Law Requiring Lic

    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...

    Semi auto rifle license law passed and headed to governor

    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...

    Looking for rifle recommendations

    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.

    Looking for rifle recommendations

    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...

    Prison closings, you're still in New Yorkistan, why?

    Precision/long range shooting

    Mils or MOA ???

    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...

    Seriously thinking of downsizing

    Oregon passes ridiculous gun storage laws.

    This situation is worse than just being on the west coast. I left the PRM (people’s republic of Massachusetts) because of laws worse than this. In the PRM not only did guns need to be locked, but also ammunition and ammunition components. Loan someone your truck and a single piece of...

    what is a good scope for hunting for a 12 gauge?

    Assuming it will be shooting slugs for deer, my favorite is 2 power leupold for woods hunting. Ive killed a few inexpensive scopes on slug guns with their stout recoil. By a quality scope with a good warranty (that hopefully you won’t need.). You don’t need a lot of magnification for...

    If you had a choice, what LONG RANGE caliber would you choose

    I have shot both .308 and 6.5 CM out to 1000 yards and killed multiple deer with both calibers (250 -300 yards shots on deer) At the range on targets the two calibers I find equal out to 700 yards. Past 700 yards it is easier to get hits on steel with 6.5, and the farther out you go the bigger...
