NYS gun laws in action
Dinsdale replied to Nomad's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
I’m not a handgun guy, right up front, no expert….. But I’d guess off the top of my head it exceeds the weight for a semi automatic. 50oz unloaded. You cant own a 50 Desert Eagle and although it looks like any other semi auto, it weighs too much. Be interested to hear others thoughts? -
Cue Johnny Cash…..

Crazy story. Hunted with all kinds of guides, including a couple that regular follow large wounded dangerous game; and their biggest apprehension from guiding is the hunter behind them with a loaded weapon. Enjoy the posts, lot to be learned from them. Stay safe.

The queen speaks today about gun safety...

She fell into that same logic used before…..I don’t need to know why crime is up, just make more proclamations that she’s fighting it. The first couple minutes sounds like a campaign speech of how awesome she is. And that stated how she was fixing the bail law…..ya, the one you supported weakening. Let’s see, scum bags doing crime again when they get out the same day, who’d a thunk it? The rest was about red flag laws…. I think that Quinnipiac poll that has Zeldin closing the gap has got them pretty panicked. Another school shooting today, 2 dead, its so common now it will barely make the news. -
Shot quite a few deer with the great plains lead conicals, hunted for years with rem 700 inline in 45. They do fine, and are very accurate for my gun. Frankly not a Hornady anything fan, and its just about the only thing i have on the shelf that i would continue to use other than some 20ga sst for the savage 220. I wouldnt shy away. Waterjug testing is not a good way to assess pullet performance but it looks cool i guess.

2 thumbs up. Good fun for money. It ain’t stupid fast, but it handles just like a rear wheel drive platform should. Easy cheap fun to zip around in and where I am there are just endless twisty back roads between NY and CT. Put it on the track for a day, had a ball. Its very forgiving. Walked into it. Was looking for a new toy and wanting to trade in a Transit van I no longer wanted and a customer bailed on the order. Got an email from dealer it was going to be delivered in 2 weeks at 3:30 in the afternoon, and by 5:30 had all the paperwork done the same day. Even knocked a few bucks off sticker! I was thinking a GTI but at near $40K,eh, and VW is just a mess for supply chain. Nissan Z was more then I wanted to spend. Now what I want is a GR Corolla…..300hp for a 3 cyl and less curb weight then the GR86. Talk about ‘rice burner’….ZOOM!

There is always someone higher in the food chain money wise too. What I don’t get is the bemoaning about how someone spends their money on a hobby with that under current of ‘i can do it cheaper or with less’ Have had a bunch of hobbies, spent the most on hunting and some fishing. I’d dearly love a Ferrari, but having fun with the porsche and GR86 and still afford to tinker with them. And its fine by me if someone can afford one or more ‘exotics’.

First car was an 73 Olds Cutlass with a 350 in it. Got the Hooker headers, Edlebrock intake with twin Holley 4 bbls, Thrush muffler. And you could watch the gas gauge move when you stomped on it. Fun times.

I work all over N. Dutchess, Ulster,Greene,Columbia counties. There are trashy spots all over. Contractor I used to work for had been parking his truck on a job, and someone clipped him too. No doubt seeing the truck parked on a regular basis. Closer to Craryville/Hillsdale. (I’m doing a kitchen end of the year a few minutes from Bellspond, lots of work that area) I work about as far north as Chatham; I’d rather work north of home then south in general.
-
I would think Hudson would be a more likely source then downstate. But back in July they arrested 8 in a ring for Columbia county, most of them in Claverack. I should add they all had drugs, and our stellar court system released all but one on appearance tickets.

Really short neck mount……Oh my

Midway hasn’t shipped ammo to NY since the SAFE act years ago, same with BassPro/Cabelas/etc.
-
“Also, all the BS sausage, snack sticks, hotdogs, jerky etc is for the folks that aren't too keen on venison. YMMV“
-
So seasoning and adding flavors in the pan and dumping gravy from beef= OK But pre seasoning meat like sausage= BAD Got it.
-
You’d find the same in CT. I cant buy loaded ammo at Hartford Cabelas; but last time I was in there about 6 weeks ago bought powder, primers, and bullets. They actually had some.

I don’t know where your route will take you or if you’ll have time; but Scheels is a decent outdoor store and so is Linton Outdoors, they are in Idaho.(Linton caters to backpack hunters, with lots of good equipment)

22LR rifle accuracy and range?
Dinsdale replied to dbHunterNY's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
My 452 American likes that 22lr Wolf Match the best also. I haven’t seen any in forever. -
22LR rifle accuracy and range?
Dinsdale replied to dbHunterNY's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
I missed a squirrel this morning, so I just shot this group at 60yds. Happen to have a 6x6 laying at that distance……thats about as far as I can see around me, so seemed good. Have never missed with this gun, so I took one shot and its way right. Then it hit me; forgot I shot up some ammo last year and left one magazine loaded with some Remington can stuff. It didnt shoot well in any of my 22’s. So the shot on the right is last Remington and the other 4 are CCI Standard Velocity all lead, one inch target. This 22 is a CZ 452 trainer, leupold vxlll 1.5-5 scope; fairly noted on the web that this gun does well with CCI SV in general. Interesting my 452 full stock shoots ridiculous small groups with same ammo; but my 452 American does not. Hunting tripod front rest, just sitting on the ground. Decent enough for hunting/plinking, on a proper bench will do better. -
Good luck with your trip.

Amen; crime stats are dropping like a rock.

Fwiw, a red light has nothing to do with trying to fool a deer. Its easier on your eyes and allows your pupils to stay adjusted to the dark. You retain more night vision across your field of view. On an led, it also extends battery life as red and blue require less then full spectrum white.
