Not long ago I took a pretty nice 700 BDL in 308 to a show. "How much?," I was asked. $650....damn they near rolled in the floor from cardiac arrest. My retort was you pay 500 for a plastic one and turn up your nose at this...made in the early 90's. Wound up putting GB and getting over a grand. I agree ammo is ridiculous but good clean walnut and steel has gone up.
