[QUOTE="greatwhitehntr, post: 2026667, member: 63382"] I think a few of you may have misunderstood what I'm saying. I get a 20-in barrel I get a 22-in barrel I get a 24-in barrel. Why aren't they all coming threaded cuz you know someone's throwing a can/suppressor on it. Why are you calling it long range? Technically that would fall under the tactical category or specific use. Why is the magazine box so small? Someone said it, 300 PRC. I have a Bagarbage that I bought when they first came out that factory ammo doesn't fit in it and It jams, so I sent it back. They told me there's nothing wrong with it. Technically not a cheap rifle when you can go buy a savage for $5-600 vs $1400 I do have custom rifles,I have semi-custom rifles most of them are topped with scopes that cost over $1,000 helI I got a Ruger American that has $1,000 scope on it, some of them are topped with scopes that cost over $2,000 and more.
