[QUOTE="jcbjr, post: 1886399, member: 59793"] These guns often appeal, like other high end items, to people with more money than sense, often who can't/don't want to set up rifle, work up loads, etc. That probably have a factory or dealer modded diesel 1ton pickup that's way more that they need, as well. This recent economy (pre-COVID 19) has produced a bunch of young kids with tons of money, so there's a market. Good! Adds to our national bottom line! I don't think we have to worry about being priced out, as there are plenty of great makers willing to produce excellent guns/parts at substantially lower prices; not cheap, mind you, but attainable by mere mortals. Personally, I pride myself in putting together a rig for, scope and all, under $2500. Bone stock Savage .308 with heavy fluted 24" bbl, Bushnell Elite 6-24 mil dot scope Rings and 20mil pic rail (good stuff, can't remember brand) Linear compensator (out of consideration for fellow shooters! Aftermarket adjustable cheek piece That's it! Accustock and Accutrigger. 0.5moa at 200 consistently; can batter a 4" plate at 500m all day long. This is the fun part for me. Some day maybe I'll have another, spend more, get a really good scope. But I'll leave the Gunwerks , etc., to those with the money but no time/desire to invest in the build. 65 yo grandpa's 2 cents.
