    I believe if you are pulled over for any reason and a regi check shows the registered owner has a fal that is flagged as "firearms" for the officers conducting the stop.

    Surely no one thinks that we don't have an illicit gun problem? And a gun crime problem? Don't get distracted by the numbers. They are just numbers. 17K? 10K? 5K? Whatever. There are too many guns in...

    The Europeans were so far ahead of anyone else in this regard, 6x57 in 1895, 6.5x57 1893, 7x57 1882, 8 x57 1888 then there's the 9, 9.3, and 10.75 all on the same case. The widely used .473 case...

    I would definitely encourage you to go second hand. There are some good rifles going for real bargains at the moment. Seem to be more rifles than buyers around.

    Good point. This is what killed the .260 Rem, that and the slow twist. Can be a problem in the 7mm-08 too. GPM.

    As a long time .25 cal shooter, I don’t get excited about .25s anymore apart from the nostalgia a .25 savage in a kurz sporter. Limited support for the , .25 creedmore in brass, pills, rifles...

    Good choice. My standard Tikka barrel (22" +) does nicely out to 500y with the 178gr ELD-X @2800fps

    That's why I've stopped running full noise loads for playing around...but yeah a mouse fart load in 44 magnum is fun...must try the really light charge in .45/70 sometime too.

    650m is a long way out, I'd be going 20". An over barrel suppressor will keep the overall length to 24" which is fine. 16" is over kill unless you are hunting thick thick bush.
