[QUOTE="BillR, post: 582158, member: 462"] A lot of the equipment I use for long range hunting I could only dream about during my 25 year stint as a LEO. I must admit though that I haven't been able to talk myself into the Black Gun thing yet. My heavy barreled Rem 700 .308 with the H-S Pres. stock on it is not black. It is actually dark brown. I would of loved to have it with its Nightforce 5.5X22X50 NSX NPR2 scope on it back when I was in the business but nothing like that was available at the time unless your dept was able to acquire a Military sniper rifle but most smaller dept's were so under funded that you were lucky if you were supplied with anything. Most of what is sold as tactical guns now is a civilian model made up to look like something the Military is using as there is a huge support for the people in the Military right now. Everyone wants to be like them. Or you have guys coming back out of the Military that are use to the tactical guns and equipment and learned to really like it and are buying into that market. You just don't see as many people buying guns with really nice wood and high polish blue but if you put the wars behind us for 10 years that will all change again. I'm old enough to remember all the guys after WWII buying rifles from the DCM because they were use to them and had good memories of them and so they bought them to hunt with. Same thing your seeing now. But like I said. It will all change again. [/QUOTE]
