I was actually being sarcastic because no one in their right mind would buy a gun with virtually no reliable brass/ammo supply in an obscure chambering (thus little resale value) that basically duplicates a hand loaded '06.
But go right ahead if it pleases you.
I wouldn't buy one for someone else or for resale value but rather for its functionality. Brass isn't a concern - there is plenty available and I'd buy a lifetime supply.
A handloaded -06 won't do what a RCM can do in a short barrel config. I can pick up a NIB iron-sighted RCM with a 20" barrel for $499.
Is that all you got?
I'm very disappointed. I was expecting 10 paragraphs minimum.
499 is still waaaay too much for one of those rifles.
