    Peace Officers respond to open carry

    That's true, but how far do you want to let government go in legislating your life choices. Is it ok to ban adults from smoking due to increased risk of heart disease and cancer that will impact the cost of insurance and also increases taxes. Will it be ok for government to restrict everyone's...

    Thanks to everyone, I appreciate all the suggestions. I have contacted Match Grade and at this point I believe I will attend one of their upcoming courses. I will post my experience and thoughts about the course after I finish it.

    Training Courses Any basic rifle courses in New Mexico

    Looking for a rifle course close to home (NM) that is for geared towards the new/inexperienced rifle shooter. I did a few searches but didn't turn up much in state for new shooters, best I could find was in Arizona and Texas. Any info or leads would be appreciated. I was thinking a 2-5 day...

    Rifle Scopes Are the Primary Arms and BSA 4x14 the same components as Falcon Menace 4x14?

    Sully, Is the glass quality you described above on the newer SWFAs 5-20 also true of the 3-9 and 3-15 or are your experiences with the new SWFAs just the HD models? Thanks

    Savage 10 FCP-K or Rem 700 SPS...any significant reason for one over the other?

    Are the bolt and extractors on the Savage as they come in the box pretty poor? Any suggestions on reasonably priced fixes/modifications. And I realize reasonably is almost a worthless word as it varies in everybody's perception, but something in the $100 price range...less is always great. Thanks

    Question about search warrents

    Like most every legal question the answer depends on the specific facts as the addition or omission of even one fact can change the outcome legally. The plain view doctrine allows law enforcement officers to seize contraband that is in plain view to them when they are in a position legally...

    Peace Officers respond to open carry

    Your points are well taken. Right to bear arms is a constitutionally protected right, where as a driver's/operator's license is under our laws a privilege and not a right. Placing a financial hurdle on the poor's right to exercise their right is by and large unjust, although I understand the...

    Peace Officers respond to open carry

    If you want to discourage open carry in lieu of concealed carry, then make concealed carry legal in every jurisdiction and don't require a license that costs $100 or more for license, background check, fingerprinting, etc. and requires the time and cost of a course, and renewal every few years...

    New member and new rifle shooter from NM

    Recently making the move from strictly occasional pistol shooting into rifle shooting. Own one AR15 and getting ready to purchase a new Savage .308 to have some stress relief and fun shooting targets out to as long as maybe 800 yards, but often due to location limits more frequently 200-500...

    Question about search warrents

    It would not be the first time it has happened, but it is very rare that the officers execute the warrant on the wrong residence. Many agencies will put in a detailed description of the exterior of the home to be searched to reduce the odds of such a mistake. Some agencies have a photo of the...

    Question about search warrents

    It looks like your original questions have been answered, but I will add or restate a couple points. The warrant is not an order to the individual who owns the home/place to be searched, but to the officer(s) executing the search. In practice the items being searched for, and to be seized if...

    Savage 10 FCP-K or Rem 700 SPS...any significant reason for one over the other?

    I can't seem to find it, but may be looking in the wrong location. Could I trouble you to PM me a link? Sorry to be a pain. Thanks.

    I will keep an eye on that forum as well. Thanks

    Savage 10 FCP-K or Rem 700 SPS...any significant reason for one over the other?

    I would happily purchase one, especially for the prices you paid and have heard of. However, I have not seen one for sale anywhere and even the listings that sold in the past few months were all in the $575--$625 range. But i guess the price doesn't much matter as I don't see any for sale. I...

    Rifle Scopes Are the Primary Arms and BSA 4x14 the same components as Falcon Menace 4x14?

    The two that I am considering are the Falcon Menace 4-14 and SWFA SS 3-15. However, the SWFA is twice the price, and this will be my first experience with any scope--i am purchasing to target shoot at anywhere up to 800 yards or so when available to me. I Will mount it on a .308. I have seen...

    Savage 10 FCP-K or Rem 700 SPS...any significant reason for one over the other?

    I am certainly not married to the FCP-K, but it seemed to be a reasonable choice based on features and price. I have only owned one other rifle--AR-15--for a few months. I want to purchase a .308 bolt gun that I can have fun shooting primarily from prone position and bench rest up to say 800...

    Savage 10 FCP-K or Rem 700 SPS...any significant reason for one over the other?

    I am intending to purchase one of the two above factory rifles NIB. From most of what I have read they are comparable rifles with loyalist on each side. I have read of a few issues with both, and various pro and cons. For example, I recently read that the Savage can have problems with the...

    Rifle Scopes Are the Primary Arms and BSA 4x14 the same components as Falcon Menace 4x14?

    I have read a few comment that the 3 scopes above are the same with just different manufacturer's name on scope. However, I see a couple minor differences in specs. Are the 3 scopes made using the exact same materials and from the same manufacturing plant? Thanks for any insight and...
