[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3029438, member: 11459"] The Slam looks awesome. I like nice things but I can't justify $4600 for what it is and I'm sure a CF barrel would only increase that price. They're basically charging $2000 for that chassis over the price of what you can get a complete Element rifle for. I've bought 3 of their rifles since September (two DMR's and one PH2) and have been amazed by what you get for the price which is my draw to a second PH2 or Element. I like quality that fits my needs at a good value and the Slam just isn't there for me. I can get an Origin, an MDT HNT26, and a Proof prefit for over $1K less than it's base price and have practically the same thing and be within a pound or so and have a setup that I can just order prefits to swap around as I see fit. My price is about $1600 on a PH2 so I could get two more barrels made and still have nearly $2K left over for glass for the cost of the Slam. They say there will be a production version of it in the future and the chassis will be available to buy so I might entertain those depending on price, but when I can get a HNT26 folder for about $1400 with discount it would have to be less than that for me to consider it, especially since it weighs the same.
