Skip the FAL unless you have deep pockets. Accuracy isnt the greatest and there is the metric/sae thing to watch for too.
A good AR10 is cheaper,more accurate and easier to work with.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Don't forget those numbers for the last month don't really tell you how many firearms are actuality sold! I've had two checks last month but picked up four firearms 
. Black Friday was so busy NICS went down . I know I'm not the only one to buy multiple firearms on one check, seems to be pretty common when you have stuff sent to a dealer.

I have a Savage 110FP in .308 and it's a tack driver.

A thumb safety
Although I agree that good finger control is the most important firearm safety device, there is a great reason to like the XD thumb safety. I believe that when engaged it locks the slide. A thumb operated slide lock will prevent the XD slide from moving and potentially being "out of battery" when drawn or holstered. I see that as a potentially worthwhile ability regardless of it's other safety functions.
Springfield XD45, no thumb safety. I don't need it as my index finger controls if a round goes or not.

The grip safety does that. I'm not a fan and that is the only upside I can see to locking the slide. I'd still like to be able to clear the firearm with out depressing the grip safety and making the trigger active, especially with our backwards encased in motor vehicle laws. I think the manual safety was added to be considered for government sales as that was a requirement for bid.

I added to it this fall. For WI rifle/shotgun season I bought my wife a Remington 770 package rifle, in .270.

I have been looking at the Remington Model 700™ XCR™ Tactical Long Range 308 rifle , for purchase in June, along with a Markarov 9x18 & a Kimber Warrior 1911- All for CCW.
OH, YEAH. Love my Ruger SR556

FOR Just $ 2500.00 you can get the SCAR 17s 308...It's what some of the Spec ops guys are using in AStan

That post should have said "AC-556" but the SR is sweet once you adjust the gas on it. The first person I know who got one we told him he bought a very nice bolt action rifle.

The SPS Tactical is more accurate, costs less and comes with a nicer stock. The new Remington adjustable triggers are pretty decent. The Savage 10FP is about the same price but I do not like the feel of the stock and you really do not need the extra 6" of barrel if you are using commercial and surplus ammo so it is more cumbersome and heavy than necessary...
