Made post re Bauer and then deleted it. My mother always said if you can't say something nice then....

Maybe the muzzle brake on the Miller rifle costs $18,000.

Depends on the number of holes.

Yeah, but the Miller rifle is worth the cost.

David Miller has just announced his new M70 Classic with synthetic stock...$32,000. Pressure is off Echols. It has one of those damned muzzle brakes. Holey Expletive deleted!!! They sure are proud of their wares. Bear

Addition: There is accurate, really accurate and scary accurate. They all may exist in the same rifle depending on the components, shooter and conditions. Good point....

No one has done the math yet, so I guess I will. Someone from the company in question has stated that they may build up to 14 rifles in a year. At $14,000.00 each, this comes to a whopping $196,000.00. Subtract overhead, including three peoples wages, equipment, and materials, and tell me if anyone is getting rich?

R. The only thing you can conclude from that math, is that producing Legends isn't the only thing that goes on in their shop (I hope)

I think this whole thread was staged by John Burns to see if the fire would try to set the price for other rifle makers.
Kidding (kind of)....

Rman,
The $14,000 price includes the 11% federal excise tax on new firearms, so what the Echols company actually receives for each Legend is around $12,500.
