[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 595334, member: 25488"] There was also a time not long that spending 3,000+ on a custom rifle was something only the rich would do. $3-5,000.00 rifles are common place now days. and people are more willing to pay that. I am sure the flooded market of cheaper rifles is driving the sales of custom rifles, because you now have to pay that for fit and finish. But WE (again, shooters as a whole) drive the market. And Remington, Marlin, Savage, and the such just respond to market demands. I think the low gloss satin finish even on walnut stocks is more of a current fashion trend than a cheaper method. I know having finished several stocks that it takes more effort to get a deep satin finish than a gloss finish. but I like the feel better with a satin/low gloss finish. [/QUOTE]
