I think so. I will use a USB to 3.5mm adaptor on the Ipad and bypass the remote itself.

Just for kicks I am starting to build an IPhone/IPad app that will connect in to the ProChrono via the audio wire connector so I can mimic the remote as well as give some on the fly statistics. I figure it is a fairly easy app to build for my first one. It's just something to do. If I ever get done, I will let those who have a prochrono and want to help beta test try it out.

I just got one of these. $104 shipped to me off of ebay and I also bought the remote from MidwayUSA. I would have went with an Oehler 35, but didn't want to spend $500+. I bought mine based on the reviews on BrianEnos.com as well. The CED M2 also has good reviews, but everything considered, I think I made the right choice. I also connect mine into my laptop so I can do some analysis.

I was just there this weekend. I am pretty confident the farthest they have is 100yds unless he opened up another shooting area.

I agree that don't ask don't tell is the easiest solution, however, if you work for a large corporation, I am pretty sure there is something in the fine print of your employment agreement that says they do have the right to search your car and you probably signed off on it without realizing it. Worst case, you say no and they can either fire you or let it go. Push comes to shove, they will always get the last word. And for the non-English majors, please understand the difference between IN and ON. I don't care if a gun is IN your car (or pants or whatever you want to call personal property), when it is ON my property, my rules win. If you do not like the rules when ON someones property, you have a choice to not go there or leave. If you don't agree with that, let me build a portable meth lab IN my car and park IN your garage ON your property. As it is IN my car, and that is MY personal property, it shouldn't be an issue. I am also sure your Insurance company would have no issues paying out when it blows up.

Matt, in my opinion, you are always better selling outright and then finding what you want for two reasons. First, a dealer is typically never going to give you close to what your gun is worth. It's like buying a car. They have something you want more than they need what you have. They not only want to sell you their gun, they want to get yours at a good enough price to also make a nice profit on it. They have to be able to price it low enough to sell it. They don't want to keep it forever. There are some exceptions to that rule, but only involving rare or highly sought after guns. In this case, 1911's are a dime a dozen. I haven't found a gun priced right yet that won't sell. It's usually that the current owner paid too much and now wants to try and get it all back, or they think it is worth much more than it is. I would recommend you really determine what you HAVE to have out of it if you would sell it and start about $50 higher than that. If you HAVE to have $50 less than it would be new, then plan on keeping it unless it is hard to find. I just really depends how bad you want that new gun. A dealer doesn't really care that your gun is nice, they care that they can sell it for more than they are going to pay for it. Making $200 on a 90% gun is better than making $50 on a 99% gun. My two cents.

Gotcha. I have a full Kidd setup with the SuperGrade receiver and love it, but it was a little pricey. I decided it was going to be my indulgent gun. I typically try to make sure I can always get my money back in any gun I buy, but I don't think that will be the case with that one.

You can get a Kidd Receiver as well. They actually have two different one's which are much better than a factory receiver IMO. I wasn't sure if you were asking in regards to wanting to know if there was an alternative or if the stock receiver's were the only option. There are actually a few companies that make replacement receivers.

I have a full custom Kidd Supergrade and I would recommend sending them an email with the picture and ask them. I am confident if they even think there could be something wrong with it, they will replace it. They are a first class shop.

If you're willing to drive a couple of hours, go to Whittaker's in Owensboro, KY. They have one of the largest selection of new and used guns you will find and you won't beat their prices. If you are looking local, Franklin Gun Shop has a nice selection (but many of us think they are way overpriced) and Gun's n Leather in Greenbriar is good place to look. I would highly recommend the drive to Whittaker's personally. I end up coming home with something every trip I make.

Just got back from the show. I only live a mile away, so it was a no brainer. A pretty decent crowd was there. The lower bowl is mostly full and there seemed to be a lot more long guns for once. Lots of personal guns walking around which is what I am looking for. Much better than the last couple of Goodman shows I have been to.

There is no reciprocity with IL. You cannot have a loaded or concealed weapon in your car or on your person (unless you are legally hunting of course) in IL. I think you would be ok in a hotel room, but it would depend on the hotel. Before you left your room, you would need to unload it. You would have to stop in KY before crossing into IL and unload your weapon, and then your ammo cannot be within the same reach as your weapon. Basically put your gun in one location and ammo in a completely other. Your safest bet in IL is to put in in the trunk or back of the vehicle. I don't know anything about Missouri's laws. I grew up in IL, but live in TN now. I don't go there often anymore, but they will nail you if you get caught with a loaded weapon or even easy access to ammo and your weapon from your seat.

The Elite 4200 and VX-II are both good choices, but for the cost, the 4200 is hard to beat. I just got a 4200 3-9x40 for $149 from Cabelas on super sale. Hard to beat for that price. Even a 4-12 will not be too bad on price. I have many VX-II's as well, but for hunting I like my 4200's. Can't go wrong typically with Leupold bases and rings.

I have the P232 with Hogue grips and night sites and love it. I also have large hands and find many of the new carry guns too small for my liking. I have never had slide bite, but I also don't limp wrist it. For me, it is a great size to carry, throw in the truck, and just have in the night stand. The only thing that is annoying is the bottom mag release, but that isn't that big of deal to me. I think the Hogue grips make all of the difference in this model and highly recommend you get them if you would get one that doesn't have them.

There were a lot of tables, but it was probably 30% guns and 70% Knives and other Misc stuff. Not worth the money or drive (from Franklin) in my opinion.

I don't agree that a Savage is half the cost of a CZ. A Mark II TR is around $400 as well. A CZ can be had for the same price. There are Savages that can be bought for $300, but I don't think they are half the cost of a CZ. I agree they can both be equally accurate, but the far superior fit and finish is worth the extra $100 to me. I realize that may not be important to everyone, but is something to consider.

I will have to respectfully disagree. Head over to rimfirecentral and just read the comments on all of the brands. CZ is by far the most popular for a reason. Quality for Cost. The Winchester may be a fine little gun, but the fit and finish isn't anywhere near as good. The Savage is an excellent value, but again, fit and finish leave something to be desired. In my opinion, the CZ will hold it's value better as well. A well kept CZ will always bring more than a Winchester Wildcat or Savage. Savage and CZ accuracy will both be excellent, you just have to find what ammo your rifle likes.

Agreed. You have to aim anything, but a 12 gauge pattern is still better than a single 30 cal bullet to me.

I hate to be that guy, but what in the heck would you want a 308 for home defense for? Want to take your neighbors out with the intruders? Buy a cheap Remington 870 home defense for around $300 and actually be able to hit something if you need to use it. I am not saying you can't, but I firmly believe most people can hit "anything" with a shotgun at close range. Then buy a 308 for hunting and 10/22 for plinking. Probably can still have them all for a similar price as you were looking at. My two cents, but I get tickled everytime I hear someone wanting to use a large rifle for home defense. Just doesn't make sense (at least to me).

The simple answer to the question is: (assuming the person you want to gift it to is legal to own one and it is a true gift) 1) you purchase the gun (pay for) and have the background check in your name. 2) if the person lives in state - give them the gun and your done. 3) if the person lives out of state - send the gun to an FFL in their state and they must get a background check there.. You do not have to ship from an FFL in your state legally. There are some FFL's that say they will only receive guns from another FFL. I say find another receiving FFL if that is the case (just personal opinion there). That's it!

Lyman without a doubt. It's the top recommendation on accurateshooter as well where a lot of the benchrest guys hang out. Pay once and be done with it.

Very Nice. I have a 52C HB, but Sporters are in another class. Looks to be in very nice shape.

I have one as well and really like it. It shoots extremely well and it shoots anything I give it. The night sights are very bright on mine as well. I bought it specifically because I wanted something to throw in my truck that i wasn't worried about getting scratched, etc. I have multiple other Sig's that I don't want to scratch or beat up, so this was perfect.

At a minimum, we should all at least give the local guys a chance. It's hard to know what they will do if you don't ask. Now in some cases, there are stores I wont buy anything from no matter what the price based on previous experiences (no need to guess where), but for places like Guns and Leather, we should always ask. You win some, you lose some, but if you don't have the chance to compete, it's hard to win.
