Should you have to make those concessions for using a rifle that costs that much money?
Yes you should. I have had my fare share of rifles over the years...... As most here have. With some of the $$$ units giving issues, & the cheaper ones not so much. But that also works in reverse too
I had dramas with my Sako 75 Stainless Hunter & the key concept lock. What a PITA system! Had problems with Blaser R93 trigger, after hunting in the wet for 1 season......Too many rifles to mention LOL
