Buying the pieces out of pocket lessens the sting of a huge single bill. I don't have $4000 sitting in a sock drawer to invest in a rifle in one whack. And I would never use a rifle that spendy. Hoping for something in the lower end of that middle. I realize a barrel will be $800 to buy and install. McMillan is $500ish. Already into the M70 a bill plus bottom metal.
