I am currently involved in a private party NFA transfer. The only reason that I am doing it in that manner is that the other party is one of my closest friends. I trust him implicitly, therefore I am comfortable buying a can from him. Anyone else outside of a core group of friends? Not going to happen.

Yeah. The bolt is a combination of the M70 and the Mauser claw extractor. The action is like butter with the best trigger I have felt on any rifle.

Yes. While I was selecting a rifle for my hunting rig, with many of the same criteria you had, I handled a few new Super Grades. I was thoroughly impressed. It was going to be the one I purchased until I was able to handle an MRC. After that, it was no contest. The Rem 700 was never truly in the running due to the long running design problems and even the higher end models didn't match up to some of the others I looked at like the M70, the MRC or a Weatherby MkV that was in contention. I know that Made in USA is an important checklist item for you. The Weatherby Mark V might be another option to check as they are still produced in MN. The Vanguard line have their barrels and actions made by Howa in Japan.

Without a doubt.

The Winchester Model 70 Super Grade has the high polish bluing.

Everything Greg mentioned as well as my personal choice, the American Standard Rifle from the Montana Rifle Company. http://montanarifleco.com/?page_id=149 I absolutely love mine and will be proud to pass it along to my kids Edited to add: I just realized that the finish might not be gloss enough for you with the MRC. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nope. All about giving your hand purchase to pull against to drive the stock into your shoulder.

I used to not carry any cash at all. Now I generally have a couple of hundred on me at any given time. It's been helpful more than once in my line of work as a truck driver.

The English language does have a severe lack of words that can succinctly describe complex emotions.

North of Jackson is great. We live in Crockett. Great area and as great of schools as is possible when dealing with the Prussian Model. -
Post the last firearm related thing you bought!

AAC M4-2000 w/2 brakes PTR 91 with an 18 inch match barrel, 5 mags, spare furniture, vortex strike eagle 1-8 and a bit of ammo. -
I am actually getting ready to buy a rifle from someone I know that has a Vortex Strike Eagle 1– 8 on top of it. There is a pretty good chance I will be selling that and replacing it with an NXS 1–6. Once you get hooked on high quality glass, you get where you can't use anything less.

I just picked up a railed top cover for my FAL so that it can start wearing itS Nightforce NXS 1-4. -
I've got two. I don't see myself buying glass from any other maker.

An honest enemy is always preferable to a false friend.

It's really tasty stuff. In fact, if you make the trip up to the Cabela's in Bristol they have elk on the menu in their café. I mean, if you're in the market for an excuse to go visit Cabela's.

I'm just a ray of ####ing sunshine today, aren't I?

I'm sure we all would. But then there's that whole "real world" thing we live in. Anyone who doesn't believe that this could pass, that "the Republicans will prevent this sort of thing" those are the folks not living in the real world.

It says nothing, and in doing so takes everything.

That is a hard proposition if one is trying to survive the encounter. However, if one values the target's death over their own life, then the rest is only planning. -

But you know I'm not. It requires pain, and lots of it for the people to develop the will to risk everything for the hope of something better. It takes a hell of a lot for folks to think that the juice of revolution is worth the squeeze, especially when their bellies are filled with bread and their nights are filled with watching the circus. "The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty — and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies." - H.L. Mencken -

Of course, it's a hypothetical conversation as it honestly doesn't matter if the government figures out how to revoke the 2A and go full on Bolshevik. As long as the internet still works, power still comes on, and the grocery store shelves still have food, things will carry on as they always have been. Freedom isn't important to the masses as long as life is still comfortable. -

While I half-jokingly talk about the tank driver, the truly high value targets are the government bureaucrats, perfunctories, and officials who carry the will of the government against the people. All it takes is a revolver, opportunity and the will to get the job done. As Mac mentioned, WWI was started with a couple of shots from a single pistol. -
