[QUOTE="pwrdbycotn, post: 918716, member: 29096"] I never said it was easy money. However, let's say I shoot 50 rounds working up a load. Then let's say I shoot another 150 rounds confirming drops and enjoying my new rifle. That's 200 rounds. Then I take it hunting and shoot 3 deer. Hell, let's say I miss 2 times. That's 5 more..up to 205. Then I put it in the safe and get it out the next year and shoot 200 more through it practicing and playing. I can do that 5 years before it has 1000 rounds through it. Now let's pony up $350 for a barrel and $200 for install. That's $550. It comes out to $110/year to shoot this gun not including powder and bullets, but you would use those in a 260. Is that expensive? Maybe. Is it a whole buncha fun? Yep! Do I spend WAY more than $110/year to have fun? Yep! If it was going to be the one and only gun in my safe then it may not be a wise choice. For most of us, though, it isn't going to be the one and only. I think it's great that a company like Nosler is stepping up to the plate. I hope that all the companies out there continue to be innovative and offer hot-rods for us to enjoy. There are plenty Buicks out there for those who don't like the tire burners! :D [/QUOTE]
