as much as people are paying for their overpriced rifles you would think they could afford it.
sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing you. may i suggest a stevens 200, or a remington 770, or a smith and wesson i bolt? I know! how about a mossberg 4x4? over priced? I don't think so, I think it's just that some of us may have better taste than others. i don't make mutch $$$ but i will spend the bucks for really nice stuff. sako, steyr, blaser, remington, kimber, cooper, montana rifle company, nosler, and yes even weatherby make fire arms that some would say are "over priced". if you don't want to spend that kind of money then stay of their porch. do you drive a pinto, kia, prius, how about a chevet? maybee it's options, or just a little pride of owner ship, i don't know but it's nice to have the options to make MY choice.
