Waaay to steep for this guy. Wild looking rifle for sure. Cut weight with the way they manufacture that one.

I dont even want a gun worth that much. Lol.
Too afraid to drop out of a treestand or clank it on the way up.
I keep trying to talk myself into a nice bolt gun. Just have a hard time thinking about a $1k gun plus scope sitting in the safe most of the year.
One of these days...

HaHaHaHa. "Lightest in it's class" Maybe they need to look at a different class. Is that weight with the magazine or without?
I have a .308 bolt gun, blind magazine. With a barrel that is 4" longer than that barrel and it weighs 4#, 13 oz without the scope and sling. Add the sling and scope and it weighs a hair under what that gun weighs bare.
The way I look at it is that if you buy a good quality gun at a good price you will never lose money when it comes time to sell it. The price I paid for my bolt gun out the door was less than that price that is listed. Granted it was 3 years ago, but still.

The amount of usage on a nice rifle doesn't bother me too much, but scratches on a walnut stocked rifle sting a bit. I try to be extra careful but if you hunt with them, they are going to get scratched... |

I want to shoot one before even considering one. The ability to make some adjustments for fit is a positive to me. With the temp swings lately in gun season an adjustable stock length is a good for all layers of clothing. That cheek piece just does not look comfortable to me even in what I am told about recoil in the 6.5CM. I do not need a box mag even though it would be handy at times.
I guess I am what the millennials' call a FUD. I want blue steel and walnut*.
* I will accept SS and composite though.

Going forward, it's all weather for me for hunting guns. That's either ss or cerakote and composite.
Tired of cleaning nice guns after crap weather or temp changes.
I have 2 bolt guns on the radar coming up. Then will be a very nice scope to compliment it. Getting to point in my life I deserve something nice for once.

Was wanting the Tikka like said before. But, now since learning about their slower twist in all calibers, not sure. I got to borrow and shoot my bosses CVA Cascades. I have been reading and following about them for awhile now. Super solid guns, good stock fully floated, adjustable lop, cerakoted, threaded, picatanny rail, smooth action, great trigger, and one moa guarantee with 2 week free return if not satisfied. He has 3 of them now, and all are exactly same quality. 243, 350L, 450bm. I will be looking for my beloved 7-08 cal gun, if not a 308. Or maybe another cal if a good enough deal found. |

Also since Luke is picking up interest in hunting, was considering something for him in dedicated lefty. Jury still out there, as my Encores are ambidextrous and work well.

Is his left or right eye the dominant eye? Left O.K. True lefty then. No wonder why his fishing reels have the handle on the wrong side. LOL I'll ask Ryan to notify me if any lefty guns show up. |

A thousand dollar gun is almost out of reach. I need a car, wife needs a car, I need a truck, house needs work, need food on the table, etc etc etc... I have been saving my pennies for awhile tho, so some day I will have enough to buy a new High Point or similar. Lol |

I’ve got a few custom rifles.
One I have over 3k invested in without scope.
The others in the low to mid 2’s
I’ve actually thought about selling a couple to by a gunwerks but probably just have another custom built.
I’m always evolving.
