.22 LR

My Ruger American stock touches on the left hand side too. I think I'm going to re stock mine with something aftermarket. I thought mine was an isolated incident, and didn't bother mentioning it when comparing the two guns on here. Good luck to the original poster. Hope you are happy with whatever rifle you end up buying.

Tikka makes a really nice rifle. If I was in the market for a new toy, Tikka would be one that I would seriously look into.

I own both. Ruger is a light weight solidly enough built gun that will reliably print good groups on paper and in the field. My only gripes with the ruger are the stock is really flimsy (even more so than the cheap 700 plastic stocks supplied by Remington) and the bolt handle has a habit of lifting when you don't want it to while wandering around the woods (it likely gets pushed/moved by my clothing/pack). The trigger is good enough on the ruger, and I really like the removable magazine. I definitely like the 700 better. You can pick a cheap version up for less than $500, and customize and modify it as much as you want to fit your needs. I own, hunt and shoot both, but if I had to choose between the two, it would be the Remington 700 all day.

squirrel, grouse, rabbit almost every day. basically just long walks in the woods, not too much luck this winter, I think the hawks, owls, coyotes, foxes and feral cats are eating well near me. flushed 3 grouse out on Monday but only had a 22 with me, then brought out shotgun on Tuesday and didn't flush any birds

I have had a skunk brush up against my boot years ago, and last year had a gray fox stalking my decoys after I shot my bird last year.

congratulations on the 2 bucks and the doe. I do hunt the area. I live here and own some land. I've been hunting here ever since I was old enough to hunt.

Spiedies

a can of coke in the crock pot does the trick. that's how we do it. cook for 4-5 hours on high, then drain the coke, shred the meat and add a jar of dinosaur bbq sauce. put it on a good hard roll and you have a delicious little sandwich

always has been shotgun only. welcome to hunting in the lisle area. good luck out there.

not sure which will be more accurate. I'm sure either of them will be a 200 yd gun without a problem. I think brownings are nice, but I am a Remington guy. I kind of like the pump better than the lever, and I like American made guns better than Japanese made guns.

Buy the brinkman or a commercial series char broil and save your money for hunting gear, unless you're keeping up with the jonses. I really don't see any quality issues that account for doubling the price for a webber.

Herb phillipsons is way better than dicks.

Nice job on the yotes broome county guys.

Scope looks like an old weaver k-10 or k-12. Great target/varmint scopes. I have a scope just like that.

The upper torso part of a female mannequin with painted on make up, bullet holes, and all kinds of nasty things written on her with sharpie marker. Found on state land near richford / lisle ny. Her name is apparently Shelby. Dont know how or why she ended up way out there, or what kind of DNA samples may be present on her, but she is now part of a friends garage decor. We told him just to leave it there, but that only encouraged him to take her. Seeing her in the garage is pretty creepy, but it always reminds us of that hunt.

I agree. Not wise. Not the solution for every situation. But, then again complaining about it in an online chat forum probably isn't the most effective solution either. I guess the proper solution is to call the DEC, or the police to report it. I've never had too much of a problem with trespassers, thank god, even though my property does border state lands. Most people in my neighborhood know each other, and each others property lines pretty good, and aren't going to flip out over crossing a boundary while out hunting. Just use common sense, and be respectful. Asking permission and talking to your neighbors usually isn't too hard of a thing to do. I find that most folks who do have a problem are out of towners who only get to come to "hunting camp" on a few occasions a year, and I don't blame them one bit, they payed hard earned money for these camps, their property rights should be respected along with everyone else's. I think these properties are more susceptible to trespassing problems though, because the owners are not right there to oversee things, so there is less of a chance of the trespassers getting caught, and the trespassers know it. One suggestion to the guys out there who do have these camps, is to befriend a local, and have them sort of watch over things for you when you can't be around. Or build your camp closer to home so you watch it yourself. Unfortunately posted signs, chains, fences, boulders, downed trees, and booby traps mean nothing to some people. Believe me, random human presence by someone who belongs there every now and then on some of these remote properties will do far more than all of the things listed above to keep the wrong people out.

Some home made spike strips (2x4 with some long nails through it) strategically placed on the trail the 4 wheelers/dirt bikers are using will take care of them. Just make sure you know where it is. Lots of things can be done, it all depends on how serious you are about keeping people off of your property. Make sure you are legally posted before trying this. If someone gets hurt on your property, it looks better for you during legal proceedings if they were trespassing.

Red field revenge 4-12 here. It's a good scope for the money in my opinion.

We respect land owners decisions to let us hunt or not. There's little that can be done to stop the dogs from "trespassing" while chasing game, but we do our best to stay as far as possible from the properties that don't want us hunting. most of us that hunt coyotes with hounds are responsible and respectful of others property rights and wishes. It's too bad theres a few bad eggs out there giving us a bad name.

I've seen them selling for around $400.00 to 450.00. I wouldn't pay that much for one, but obviously some people will.

All depends. Any old truck will do. an f-250 diesel super duty crew cab ( or bigger ) with a lift kit and some good muddin tires to tow your tank sized quad to upstate ny for 3 or 4 weekends a year seems to do the trick. Of course you'd probably have to relocate to the garden state to meet the qualifications to operate such a rig. Trust me the good ole boys up here will really be impressed. All kidding aside, any truck, any gun will do the trick, as long as you get out in the woods and enjoy yourself. No offense meant to any nj people either. My family from nj are guilty of the aforementioned offense

I'm sure the marine corps and army took all of this into consideration while choosing the Remington 700 over the model 70 action to base their m40, and m24 sniper rifle. You a ford, chevy, or dodge guy? We can talk about trucks next if ya want.

What do you mean by frail bolts on Remington 700? I've never had, or personally heard of anyone having a problem, and I know a lot of people that use, and abuse this particular firearm. Is this something new? Seems to me that if the rifle did have a problem, it wouldn't be such a popular choice. This may be a good topic for an episode of myth busters.
