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...

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.

I have both a 308 and 3006 with suppressed 20 inch barrels, the 308 pushes a 165 gr SST at 2730 fps, the 06 pushes the 178 gr ELDX at 2700 fps. With dial scopes both are capable and have sufficient...

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.
