[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 1886340, member: 33622"] This is my opinion. Shooters, actual shooters, guys who demand pinpoint accuracy, and are always striving and pushing themselves to be better, know the values of rifles. They have learned through experience when minimum is not enough, and when overkill brings little to the table. So posts like this get crossed up easily. Take hunters, many levels here, but purists, guys who demand excellence once again struggle with guys who come to the range with their 1K capables and see them need a 3 shot minimum to hit a 1.5moa target. It will never sit well, but is magnified 10 fold if that rifle happens to be a package. This becomes even more of a critical situation in the field if a shooter and said package fail in front of people in the know. I am guilty as heck here, for it doesn't matter if it is the rifle itself, the ammo, or the shooters dedication to the task. It becomes easy to point a finger at the seller, but common sense says it is deeper than just the buy in of a package. Heck, a certain pct could be attributed of the failure to buy enough of one lot of ammo, which can be hard to do based on pricing. There are certain builders who's products I have never witnessed flounder, but in my case, if I witness one package rifle not perform to the costs associated with it, I form an opinion quickly, while knowing that this is wrong essentially. You shoot long enough, have enough rifles built to your specifications, in my personal opinion, your view narrows considerably on what becomes acceptable. So to me, just buying a package means to some extent that you are settling on what is available, and throw in the cost, it will never be a route I will take. [/QUOTE]
