Hankster, they were carrying those at one of the local Walmarts here and I was really surprised because here in CA the Judge et all are illegal as they are considered a sawed off shotgun.

Fwiw, I'm still waiting for Toker to explain how 11MOA on a rifle qualifies as a "target gun". Hell, targets for Olympic Rapid Fire Pistol are ~11MOA. And don't require pretending to shoot people...

Sez so on the box, you gasbag troll. If you paid attention its not a rifle. Got some bucks, or just hot air?
Hankster,
if you have a Governor like mine I would recommend not using the 3" magnum loads in it since it is only a 2.5" chamber.
Indeed, those cylinders can overtravel, and for a dog at 20' I would have just used a load of #4 shot.
BTW I got screwed at Sportsman's Warehouse recently. I wanted to get a magnum Judge for 3" loads. Looked at one. Said yes. Filled out the paperwork. Paid. Clerk gets "one that is in the box in the back". Box says "Judge" and "3"".
When I get home I find a 2.5" chamber with a damn 3" barrel!!!!!!!!!
(They are replacing it, but next time I buy a gun at SW I know to say "Show me the freaking gun that you want to actually sell me, not a bait and switch!:)
Anyway, I'd still be curious to see the effects on that dog.
So pud,
that gunbot list hasn't changed since 8/21
Whats the deal?
And those Choot 'Em .22s are out of stock, couchmaster.

I guess he's not interested in a friendly competition.
Well, the drought seems to be lessening, although prices have gone up substantially.
Today at Sportsman's Warehouse they had shelves of .22lr and no rationing (unlimited .223 @ $.60/rd too).
Federal precision target 40gr loads @ $4.99/ box 50
CCI 40 gr cartons of 325 rds @ $22.99
gunbot.net has a lot more offerings too.

22lr in stock eh? Not around here. Cal-Ranch had a deal where if you buy any 22 you could add a bucket of Remington golden bullet 22lr (1400 count) for an additional $65. Only if you buy a gun though.

Assuming I'm the gasbag troll, apologies for not seeing your response Toker. I don't go digging past the first page or two, so if the tread gets bumped I don't see it.
Also, apologies for thinking it was a rifle. I somehow must have misunderstood what you meant when you said:
Scott Volquartsen sent me an email a month ago and said my rifle will be ready in a few months.

Two discussions overlapping combined with unmarked editing. WTF cares.
But I'm still up for competing handgun or rifle, although its so much easier just to blog trash talk.

Unmarked edits? Whatevs. If it's within 2 minutes, no reason to get bent out of shape over changing verbiage for clarity.
Anyway, long story short: if it can't keep moa, it's not a target gun. And moh is stupid.

Unless you're the target. Then it might well be important.
YMMV.

The market is slowly returning. Noticing 223 and 40 S&W are finally being sold again (my calibers)

From the down range perspective, I completely agree, Perswig. Even been there, as a kid hiking in the woods behind our house as the neighbors decided to play with their ill-gotten full-auto gear.
From the perspective of the shooter, not so much as I apparently missed the memo that explained how killing people is fun and see no reason to practice for it.

Toker- thinking on your $$$ thing a bit, I might be interested in participating in an informal postal league of sorts... Or even just a "here's my score for the week" thread since getting folks to come to a consensus on format/calibers would be problematic.
Personally, I'm currently limited to airguns at the moment due to lack of time to get to the range (hour away and filled with wackos with no care about keeping the muzzle pointed down range or shooting while people are changing targets).
How about caliber/weapon of choice, circular NRA targets scaled for proper distance? Would be nice to have a reason to get back in the habit of shooting daily again. No interest in rapid fire (would love to have a PCP Feinwerkbau field target rifle, but so far no luck with the lotto tickets) or man-shaped targets though.
Thoughts?

Works for me! And {{DROOL}}
Seriously, if there's interest in a weekly target league I'll make time for it. Used to be I'd get home from work and do 5 or 10 sets of 10 shots. Every day. Then my mom, who now lives with us, needed somewhere to store her stuff and I lost my range. A couple months back I tried to get back into it by building a silent putty trap (and scaled the targets down to the 8m I was able to find), but spending time with our 3 year old proved more interesting than time alone in the basement punching holes in paper.
Anyway, here's a pic:
Pistol is a Pardini P10 single stroke pneumatic, backstop is a Habitat for Humanity Restore cabinet I picked up for $10 and proceeded to add a 3/4" plywood backing board to and ~50 pounds of electrical putty. Shelves have 1/8" steel barstock on them for protection and to give the neodymium magnets something to hold on to for holding the targets. The target area has ~3" of putty, which is more than enough for any of my airguns. The .22 Benji NP Trail penetrates a 3" thick phone book to the letter V, but only gets 1" into the putty no matter what pellet i use, so plenty of overkill in terms of backstop.
Oh, the best part is the putty is literally silent with airguns. Only noise you hear is the airgun and the paper getting punched. Worlds better than my old trap, which was layers of carpet in front of a phone book. That sounded like I was hitting something with a baseball bat every shot. Much happier with the current setup, especially since even the Benji is silent on impact.
(Couple edits for spelling, which seems silly to mention but in the interest of getting Toker on board with this shooting league thing I'll offer an olive branch... :) )
