Like I said earlier, if that wasn't about Allen, I'll eat my hat.

However, I don't think it was nearly as negative as it sounds on the surface. If you read the whole article titled "Sentiment", MuleDeer's point is that sentiment plays as much of a role in our rifle purchases as practicality. I think his point was from a practical standpoint, those $10k rifles could not be justified. There must be something else at play - sentiment, ie. those rifles were actually chosen as much because Allen liked them as that they were practical.

edited to add: I'm not trying to speak for JB, maybe he'll chime in at some point and give us his interpretation.
