[QUOTE="RBetts, post: 345799, member: 22077"] German guns are great to look at like a beautiful woman. But like a beautiful woman, much higher maintenance for much less usage in the field. I had a K80 when I shot sporting clays. It was a wonderful gun you could kill targets just as well with a browning citori special sporting the gun it replaced. As wonderful as that K80 was I shot a H&H and a high end SO Berretta once each both were smoother in balance and more elegant in design and function. The beauty of the K80 was the german reliability and very fine tolerance. I could put any K80 barrel set on that frame and it was the same fit and operation. When you talk production guns they are to a tighter tolerance in most cas4es. When you start putting US gunsmiths up against other countries. One look at the record books in target shooting speaks volumes. Americans currently have the freedoms to evolve to the real or perceived short comings. Look at the Barrel manufacture's. Look at the precision actions. Look at the bullets. If there is a need it would be brass. It must not be big enough because if it was an American company would see the profit and fill that need here insted of outsourcing it. [/QUOTE]
