My son in law has a viper which I loved, but not the price so much. I got home around dark last night, so I didn't even take it out of the box to look through it yet. Might get that mounted up tonight, and give the rifle a good cleaning as it went right from the cardboard box and into the safe in December.

I'll post up a pic when I get it put together. Hope I can get to my range this weekend. It's about 500 yds behind the house. I couldn't get to it with the ATV last week, too much snow.

That's hilarious!

Waiting for me on my doorstep today. I picked up a Savage model 12 heavy barrel back around Christmas as a present for myself. It's been waiting in the safe since then for some (hopefully) nice glass. My first Vortex scope, but bought it after buying Vortex binoculars last year. Really liked the binos for that price point. Got a pair of weaver bases and the Grand Slam rings. Should all slide together nicely, with a touch of blue loctite, and be torqued down correctly . Hopefully first bangs downrange this weekend!

I was looking into this last year and learned all this. And I think NY is the only state in the US that does this. It never ends in NY, does it?

Welcome aboard! I went with my wife when she took hers and I took mine again just for the heck of it. I was probably 35 at the time. Since then I took it again with my daughter (I was late 40's at the time), and hope to go with my grandson in a couple years. Always had adults in the class and it never seemed out of the ordinary.

Sorry couldn't resist. Stay safe down there though!

HBD guys!

So, I haven't yet read the link (but will later) and my take away is if there's a particular semi I'd want to own, maybe I'd better get on that sooner rather than later!

NYSRPA filed a suit that was hopefully headed to SCOTUS. They withdrew when Scalia passed away in 2016. Crickets since then.

Get well soon Rob!

We use our atv's mostly for chore work, but every once in a while it's a lot of fun to just go romp around on them. Post what you find out regarding the trails in Fulton county. My atv hasn't taken a trailer ride in a while.

Congrats on a great find, have fun!

As I understand the mechanic of the NICS check, after a delay you can have the gun transferred just as if it was an "accept" as long as a "deny" was not answered in the 3 day period. Does Fuhrer Cuomo think the Feds are going to keep working on it for 7 more days just for him and his silly new state law?

Rob and Maddie, so sorry for your loss.

HBD Pygmy!

That looks rock solid!

Well, I'm not one to show off...

Might as well go at maximum range with my 5.56. Need to work up a custom load that better follows the curvature of the earth. Or just go with extreme holdover.

$500-$1000 I guess. Thanks, I wasn't aware of that particular model yet.

Based on the other thread, the consensus is no, but he likes pink.

I don't want to derail the thread, but he got out with the deer before I got to him. I saw where his tracks went and I went to his house around noon and "introduced myself to the new neighbors" I wrap around a 200 acre hayfield (corn this year -yay for that), and he was a new tenant at that farmhouse. He got permission to hunt the field, but not my woods obviously. I'm posted tight, and of course "he didn't see my posted signs". I told him I picked up his casing 5 feet from one of the signs and he must've leaned on that one. Busted in so many ways - lol. I was amicable considering the circumstances, even surprised myself about that. We exchanged contact info, and I let him know where we were going each morning and afternoon. He quickly realized it's not so good to hunt an open field when other hunters are in all the surrounding woods, tromping in and out. He wasn't any further problem and I don't expect him to be. BTW, he shot a 70 lb fawn. Between his shooting of the fawn, and my meeting at noon, I shot the buck in my avatar. End derailment.

Very interesting Burmjohn, thanks for posting. Was thinking of getting a Parrot Bebop 2 this year. I've never owned, flew, or even been with someone flying a drone. Good beginner/newbie model to start with?

I hunt 99% on my own land. I wear an orange hat and vest walking around, and usually take them off in the stand. Unless my grandson is with me, then our orange does not come off. Last year, on the opening morning of rifle season, a new neighbor trespassed on me and shot a doe in the woods between where my wife and I were sitting. My wife and I were about 400 yds apart, and the trespasser was about 150 yds from my wife. My wife and I went in before sunrise like we always do, and this guy walked in at about daybreak. Obviously he never saw us, and admitted as much during the confrontation afterward. My wife and I both wore orange in the stand for the rest of our season after that. It really changed my mind, especially when we both retraced his steps and realized he had the muzzle pointed in her direction from 150 yds. BTW, she had her orange on, but was in a stand with three trunks. Probably was blocked from view, but I still got the point.

Great piloting! Great looking cabin too!
