Dink,

Re the rifle build, I think a lot of folks here have issues because they feel the components used just don't add up to a 6k rifle.

For instance, from readings another thread it seems the stock is not an A grade McMillan or Manners, but a B grade B&C. Ditto the optics which are the less expensive Leupold rather than say the more expensive S&B PM2, Premier, even Nighforce..So they tot up the cost of the components used and figure they don't equate to anywhere near a $6K build...

Of course that doesn't factor in the cost of load development and the fact the user is getting a ready to go "system" with all the long range work up already done..
