[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 876450, member: 61637"] I am most familiar with the gun makers that you listed through the trap shooting that I did when I was younger. I always wanted to someday own a Krieghoff, but an over/under was around $10,000 US at that time. I would hate to see what they are listed for now! Now that I am a husband and father of 3 young children, cost is an even greater concern for me. I am currently one of the cheapskates on this site, shooting 4 factory rifles, and taking the time to tune an accurate load for each. I would love to own a custom rifle, but that is out of my price range right now. So, you can see that an even more expensive European made rifle, however fine, is simply out of my price range. I am also of the same mind as HARPERC. I know for a fact that the gun makers that you listed build some truly excellent guns, but I would have to see one disassembled, and reassembled, and shot out to 800 yards with consistency before I would think of one as a long range rig. I know they are well built, but the critic in me would have to see to believe. Bottom line for me, I need to pay the bills and the table before I could consider owning a "fine" rifle or shotgun. They are works of art in my mind though!!! [/QUOTE]
