ForceTen Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Dec 21 2010, 06:28 AM) QUOTE (ForceTen @ Dec 18 2010, 01:36 PM) Very nice Cygnus! Present to myself: Remington 870 Express Super Mag I'm going to pick up a couple of slug barrels. One for deer hunting, the other as short as I can make it for home protection. Awesome, brother! I cut my shotgunner's eyeteeth on an 870. Very nice weapon! thanks, Jack. This is my first shotgun I've owned. I've shot a coupleof others previously. but, never owned. Primarily for hunting, so I can do both bow and firearms hunting. After I get my barrels, I'm going to look for a nice bolt action. I was looking at both Remington 700 and Savage equivalent in a 30-06. But, I saw a Tikka somewhere and it looks like it puts both the Rem and Savage to shame. It's a Finnish company that does very high end, and that's their new "entry level" rifles I guess. I'll have to check out what you posted later for the picture. I'm on a text only browser so no pictures for me at the moment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I have an 870 in the gun safe I gave to my oldest a few Christmases ago. Picked it up at a pawn shop..great shape and shoots good to...used it on my turkey hunt last year... Another gift this year to my son-in-law will be getting a Ruger P95 9mm http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/RushForum/13009.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've dropped many deer with my 870 12 gauge. It's a nice gun for the money. Thanks to you and Cygnus. For the price, I don't think it can be beat. Others of equivalent quality seem to be 30-50% higher in price starting. I've looked at Mossbergs, Benelli's, etc. For what I want, the 870 seemed like the perfect shotgun. Not to mention there seems to be more components available for it than others. Hopefully I can pick up a slug barrel soon and get to an indoor range so I can get it broken in before skeet opens up. Now to find a range to join... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Aubrey Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 In case any of you are curious about the abovementioned Appleseed Project, then click here! Find a shoot in your area, register, and attend! Tell your friends and make it a group thing! $70 for two days of professional rifle marksmanship instruction is an absolute steal. I bought the 10/22 to shoot Appleseed because I read an article about it a while ago that said the 10/22 is the most prevalent rifle used at the shoots and it was the author's opinion that it was the best rifle to use for it. I also bought it because I don't have any other rifles that shoot .22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridertoo98 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) There is a shoot this weekend here and the next one is in Feb which I am hopping to get into. I have a Rem 597 I will use, they say a semi auto is best . Also it needs a sling. Got some work to do to it I guess. I too want that patch!!

I'm gonna need a mil-type sling for my rifle (I'll probably get an Uncle Mike's since they're cheapest and still good quality), too, and I'm also not sure if it comes with sling swivels (I decided to order a new 10/22 instead of buying the ones that my gunstore had on sale because those were used) so I need to call them and check. I'm going to my local shoot in March since I've two friends as well as my Father-in-law who want to go and my Father-in-law says he's too damn old to shoot in cold weather anymore!

briremo Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Been a while since I popped in here. Got my 14 yr old boy his first rifle for Christmas this year. My wife said it was a big waste of money but he loves it! Got him a 10/22, lots of accessories available etc. He already spent his own money on a scope, sling and extra mags. Makes his daddy proud. Now he wants a bigger caliber too! Been to the range 3 times already. brought his friend (parents are big libs) and they had a blast! Brought the AR-15 and PS-90 just to WOW 'em. I love converting people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of mine attended a couple and he really enjoys them. I'm saving up for a .22 as well. I do have one already, but not sure how well it is as it's a 35+ year old Armalite AR-7. Thinking of a Ruger. But, also considering something else. Going to be an expensive year. IDPA, Appleseed, Bow hunting, shotgun hunting... That's not counting the Remington 700 nor AR/M I'm planning on either. Add in motorcycle racing and I won't have enough to pay my bills. I'm kidding! Of course I'm responsible and pay my bills!

And you're right, there aren't many feelings that are better than the one you get from turning a hoplophobe into an enthusiast. I've always said that if we could just show people who have no firearms experience that guns are not scary but actually fun, it would make things better. If anyone who reads this ever finds themselves in South Carolina and wants to go shooting, PM me and I'll take you and I promise you'll enjoy it. We'll start with my .22 pistol and go from there.
