Well worth the time.
Thanks Moonpie.

Thanks for that. One can never have enough CMP Garands.

Dang that 600yd range with electronic scoring is awesome.... wish I could snag a garand at a reasonable price tag.

I bought one that was a Korean garand back in 2008 at McBride’s I paid 700 for it total. Shoots great. So I will pass on these and let y’all have at it

I've actually thought about relocating to the Talladega area so that I'd be closer to family and could use that facility. However, there are two problems:

1. They don't allow pistols on their 600 yard rifle range, and
2. They have no membership program. You pay by the day. There are some discounts but no flat-fee memberships. If I went there every day, as I'd like to do if I lived nearby, the range fees would far exceed my discretionary income each month.

Of course, I could always move to Raton and use The Whittington Center. I was one of the last people to buy a Life Membership back when it really meant full use, for life, without fees. But Raton is an armpit of a place, otherwise, and I could never live there.

Still, a visit to the CMP Marksmanship Park is definitely on my bucket list.

God I want a Garand...

Pretty well describes most of NM. I've driven through Raton many many times, but never stopped.

God doesn't work that way. You have to steal one, and then ask for forgiveness!

That was really cool, thanks.

Raton is beautiful, but the entire State of N.M. is very, very strange politically. Some 25 years ago, I was offered what sounded like a very good job there, I went. I soon found that the negatives of living in N.M. far outweighed any advantage of a "job". We still love to visit there; but absolutely no moving there.

I lived in NM for 3 years. I loved the outdoors there. Plenty of public land to visit unlike here in TX. I also liled being minutes from the mountains. I could travel for less than 30 min and play in the snow and come back down to the desert when I was done with it.

Yes.

BUT, Are you familiar with the "Gross Receipts Tax"?

This tax is one of the most malicious devices in all the USA.

I have visited N.M. since the mid-1950's, and certainly admired the beautiful scenery, low population density, great hunting, & snow skiing.

The "Gross Receipts Tax" is a gigantic TURD in the New Mexico punchbowl !

Texas has a version of it called Franchise Tax.

Texas has a version of it called Franchise Tax.

Texas rates and amounts are miniscule compared to N.M.

Total taxation is much higher in N.M.

Ever notice how many businesses of all kinds are bunched-up on the Texas side of any entry point highway?

New Mexico tried to tax my brother for his earnings for the entire year of 2015, even though he moved back to Texas in February.
