I recall being on the local range thirty years ago with my Colt SP1, and I'd be the only guy there with a Mattel -- everything else was blued steel and wood (except for the occasional Nylon 66).

How times have changed. Now you go to the range and half the rifles on the line are ARs.

Bwahahahahah!

That actually surprises me, mainly because of the price.

I would have guessed the Ruger 10-22 as the most popular or maybe the Marlin model 60.

If limited to high powered rifles I would have thought the Remington model 700.

I also was surprised several months ago to see 3 different AR type rifles in the Wal-Mart rather limited gun rack. 4 if you count the Sig .22LR which looked just like an AR style or maybe I should say an STG style rifle.

I am very glad to still be free to enjoy this conversation about personal property of a tactical nature we are still allowed to purchase and own. The boyz and girlz in the fusion centers must be $#itting their leotards, pondering the latent danger in going for the Full Monty Hugo Chavez.

I’m building my 4th Stoner variant rifle right now. It’s going to be a birthday present for my Daughter when she turns 9 next year...

I passed on getting one for several years. A couple of years ago I got a Bushmaster M4 A3, it’s now my favorite .223 rifle!!
