Remington Police
Hey, nothing against Remington they are great rifles and I have the LTR in .308 and had zero problems ordering it from a dealer, but you might also look at the Savage 10FP-LE1 in .308 or .223. These are great rifles, too. You probably could save enough to get a better scope and mounts. I know you might have your mind set on a Remington but Savage ain't bad. I have the 10FP-LE1 with 20" barrel and I can tell you, without hestitation, that it shoots right up there with the Remington. The stocks are sort of crappy, but the accu-trigger is a nice addition. Either way you should have no problem buying one. I did run into a 870 Remington folding stock shotgun awhile back that had the Remington folding stock with "For Law Enforcement Use Only" stamped on it. It was a good price but I was hesitant to buy it. It was at a gun show and I knew one of the Police Officers that was on security detail at the show. I took him over to look at the shotgun and show him the stampings on the stock. I ask him if I could legally own it. He did not really know if there was a date that made the stock illegal for civilians or not. He had seen them sell in local gun stores to civilians so just from that figured it was probably okay to own. I still do not know the answer to that one. I did not get the shotgun anyways as the Cop said the department had some of them and after you shot it a few times you would wish you had not bought it anyhow. I found out the hard way about the LEO/Military AR15 Magazines. I bought some for $12.00 from a dealer at a gun show. I thought I had made a great deal on 30 round magazines. I then found out that I could not own them. I tried to sell them to dealers at the next show and was offered $4.00 each for them. The folding stock and magazines might have a legality problem, but the rifles are not marked, at least mine aren't, for LEO/Military use. Nice rifles, get 'em while you can.
