Let's turn the discussion to HOW to make suppressors legal in MN.

Decision made on rifle: my wife surprised me (VERY MUCH) by copying my NFA instructor card from my wallet when I was sleeping, calling a mate who is a FFL and ordering the FN SPR A5M XP o .308 directly from FNH with the NRA instructor discount, all for Christmas morning. Now I really do have to thin...

pretty much nobody can actually see the target clearly, I know I can't. I just center the fuzzy gray glob inside the sharp black ring inside the fuzzy gray ring and pull the trigger. What about judging the wind near the target in addition to near the firing line? Can you see movement of the grass o...

Lots of good information here, thanks. For the next outdoor season I'll concentrate on shooting Appleseed https://www.appleseedinfo.org/index.html competition with my 10/22 with peep sights--that's why I bought my first .22. It'll be interesting to see if my eyes are good enough to s...

No ranges anything like 1,000 yards in SE Pennsylvania, but there are near the Twin Cities! So, what do you recommend as a rifle and scope that would allow me to work up to that distance? I'm not a hunter at the moment, so target calibers are ok. Need factory ammunition, but in time reloading would ...

That seemed right to me, too, and I appreciate your advice. Going the Kidd upgrade route.

I believe we'll see legislation introduced in the 2015 session to legalize suppressors. I imagine we're in for a multi-session uphill battle to make this law, however.b There are at least two issues here--use of suppressors and use of suppressors to hunt. In many states both are legal, but if the i...

Very helpful, thanks. Can you provide some intelligence on The Minnetonka Game & Fish Club and The Minneapolis Rifle Club? MG&FC has membership info on the web site, but MRC is more mysterious. GRRC also looks very interesting--1,000 yards is long distance in my book, having never shot anyth...

New to MN, so can you tell me the prospects for suppressors becoming legal in this state?

MN is an outlier among the states on this topic which is clearly a matter of hearing protection.

Also got the 50th Anniversary 10/22 to make into an Appleseed rifle. Tech-Sight and thought to get the Kidd trigger group instead of VQ because the rimfirecentral guys love Kidd triggers. Those with VQ, why did you choose it over Kidd?

New to the TC, and overwhelmed by the long list of ranges. Where should I look for a range longer than 100 yards with benches and also lane for prone, sitting and standing? I'm in downtown Mpls.
