It's hard to argue that few seem to favor Blaser rifles. Few seem to favor David Miller Classics either. If by favor you are talking about sales figures.

How does a person arrive at whether something is really worth the money? My AR-10 type .243 is definitely NOT worth the money unless you price by the pound. The AR types are definitely popular right now.

In Europe the concept is different. If we all had to go through a Class III type process every time we bought a rifle the notion of one receiver and six barrels may well appeal a whole lot more. If that were the case, my receiver of choice would be much more attractive than a T/C Encore. I don't know that it IS the case, only that firearms ownership is not nearly as easy in Europe as it is here.

How long can we argue that one lightly modified Mauser bolt action is really better than another lightly modified Mauser bolt action? A little innovation at least brings some interest to the discussion.
