Baers are worth it (to me), even if it means selling a few middle of the road guns to get just one gun that is exactly what you want.
I did the same thing with .308 precision rifles years back. I always wanted a Sako TRG, but they were a lot of money. I ended up selling a few rifles as well as scopes, and getting a TRG 22 in .308. Have not regretted it at all.
