[QUOTE="pondskipper, post: 656329, member: 26430"] If a man/woman were out looking for a rifle for just about any discipline weather it be benchrest, tactical, or long range hunting why on earth would anyone even consider spending any more than 3000-3500 bucks on a factory rifle to do any of it especially when a custom rifle could be built cheaper, more accurate, better fit and finish, not to mention be exactly what you would want when it's done? A Dakota arms t-76 longbow costs about 5800 new, while you can buy a surgeon action, super high quality barrel of any length, contour combo you like with any rate of twist, install it in any stock you want with any trigger you wish and have all the machine work done to it that you can dream of and still be well under the $5,800.00 price tag of the longbow with a much higher quality rifle in the end. I know that the rifle I'm talking about here isnt exactly run of the mill but how in the world can they justify a price tag like that and why on earth would anyone entertain the idea? I know this is a tactical rifle based argument but it applys to most all of the high dollar rifles you find. [/QUOTE]
