[QUOTE="preventec47, post: 1977066, member: 22159"] I would appreciate a careful breakdown of the cost benefit. So we know the cost is 50 to 100 percent more .... But what exactly is the benefit? Could it be accuracy ? I dont think so. Could it be longevity ? I dont think so. I guess the only possible benefit would be the savings of a pound, maybe two in a rifle that is designed for carrying. ie a hunters weapon that gets carried up mountains. An this weight savings like y would be in exchange for less accuracy and or longevity. Me personally, I like to pay more for the heavier rifles as recoil is a big concern and I am willing to carry extra weight for pain reduction and ability to shoot more powerful rifles. These are the thoughts of an amateur. Am I missing something here ? [/QUOTE]
