Over time - the gun proves itself as entirely too accurate for the price you paid. It simply out kicks its coverage in the accurate department in its factory configuration. Everyone owns one of these. Maybe its a $600 Tikka, or a $275 Marlin X7 - whatever the model, you know you could have spent 3 or 4 or 5 times as much without any extra accuracy. <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #CC0000"><span style="font-style: italic">At what point do you decide its worth putting Lipstick on the Pig? </span></span></span><br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">Lipstick</span></span>: Aftermarket, high quality components: <br><br>High end stock<br>Bedding<br>Trigger<br>Machined parts (vs something plastic from the Pig)<br><br>I'm not the least bit concerned about re-sale. We know how that works - you aint getting the money back out of the Lipstick, as compared to a custom built gun. <br><br>So whats your take on giving those Pigs a nice shade of red?
