Savage 10ba ~ 900$

Mosberg mvp ~ 1,000$

Ruger precision ~1,200

Springfield m1a ~1,800

There's a 150 mir on savage right now so the price would be around 750-800 so I want to say it's the clear winner if I can find one to hold and it feels nice

-I ride like I'm invisible. Never assume anyone can see you. Weave within your lane in traffic to create movement if you can't break away from traffic. They won't see you going steady but they will notice the movement.
-I slow down at green lights at busy intersections, or where visibility is obstructed. If there is somebody in the oncoming traffic turning left, always assume they will turn left right in front of you (because they always will).
-I try not to ride at night or in the rain. Definitely never ride over wet leaves or gravel.
-Slow down for unfamiliar and blind turns, especially decreasing radius curves. Look forward into the turn where you plan to be, not down at the pavement where you are now.
-Know your bike. Know how it handles at parking lot speeds as well as high speeds. Know exactly how it leans into turns and what the steering angles are.
-Scan constantly. Divide your forward view into thirds. Look at the left third and focus for a few seconds, then the middle, then the right third, and keep going back and forth. You can get better awareness than trying to focus on your entire field of vision. They also taught us this technique in flying school.

There's 2 types of motorcycle riders. Those who have wrecked and those who haven't wrecked yet. I got my 4 years of fun in and came out scratch free.
2 of the main reasons for selling my bike was the loss of excitement from riding and seeing someone very graphically killed on one at an intersection. Stay safe out there brahs

Also have significantly reduced "reverse" (like back of hand towards forearm) range of motion in one of my wrists thanks to another one. Not sure how when I landed I didn't shatter the wrist.

Have shot a few, mostly glocks, but I really have no reference to compare it to.
Purpose would be for further home defense and I would carry it in my car - not on person.
I'll see if any of my cop buddies have these in order to test shoot a few mags, thanks buddy REPPED

RE: Motorcycles
Had a ******* on a motorcycle the other day go speeding through a construction zone. Drove right down the middle of the road (between the two lanes going in the same direction) passing in between cars. Weaving in and out, like rules don't apply to him. *******s like that make me rage.
I see the bumper stickers to 'Watch out for motorcycles'. But when they drive like that, screw them.

I wouldn't snitch nor report my guy, it was a complete joke mentioning that question. That FFL is a retired guy, I forgot what he used to do but he wasn't LE. Now that I think of it, if what he was doing was risky, he would have taken precautions to meeting or agreeing to meet me for the first time? Which he didn't.

After the past two weeks, I can say this: any ATF, special agent, or even local cop who wants to rack up gun violations all day long just needs to post some damn ads on Armslist. Some of these fukkers were openly brazen about doing illegal transfers. Fake permits, no permits, sketchy and obvious prohibited persons, etc.
