I'm extremely happy with my pick for use as a practice and liberty training rifle. I went with the Marlin 795 and Tech-Sights, this setup is an unreal bargain which out shoots and out handles any stock 10/22 I've ever used.
First total cost: (I found the rifle NIB on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods, the prices include shipping, tax and all rebates)
Marlin 795= $85, Tech-Sights=$75, (2)extra 10r mags=$41, web sling(not in pics)=$15
total= $216
Looks good!

Perfect! Now get yourself 1000 rounds of ammo and come out the next Appleseed!
Only recommendation: Make sure you have 4 mags min. AQTs are 40 rounds under time pressure.
1000 rounds? Is that a minimum or ideal?

You know, I might be lying. I can't remember if I went through one Federal Value Pak or two...
I could swear I went through 2, even through the Appleseed site says only to bring about 500 rounds for both days.
The second day is mostly shooting. The instructors will allow you to shoot until a) the range closes, b) you run out of ammo, or c) you call it quits.

ok, I am just going on Saturday so maybe 500 will be enough. I will bring more just in case.
Another question :
On saturday we do instruction and practice, is that right?
Do we qualify for a rank on Saturday too?

All the basic instruction is on Saturday. They will do some instruction, and then you will practice what they taught. You'll have many opportunities to shoot the AQT for score on Saturday. There is only one rank: Rifleman. If you shoot a 210 or better (out of 250) on any AQT, you'll get the coveted Rifleman patch.
Sunday is mostly shooting with some instruction on more advanced topics like MOA and calculating distance. There's more historical perspectives presented on Sunday that are excellent as well. If you get a chance to do both a Saturday and Sunday sometime, both days are worth it.

Great, thanks for the info. I am really looking forward to this. Learning new things about shooting is something I really enjoy.
I cannot do both days right now but I am going to asap. The history alone would be of interest to me since I am a history buff over US history. Of course the shooting is fun too.
Hated to miss Colebrook, a couple guys from my club instruct there. Maybe next time.

Check out the updated schedule (first post in thread): a new date has been added for Blue Trail Range on October 30-31! This is going to be CT's biggest shoot to date with a 50-person line.
