    Love the gun, but would not buy it at that price. Break down capability is neat, seems to have good bits and pieces, but doesn't make a $2000 difference. I thought my POF308 was a little on the expensive side, but this one is stupid high. They will have to bring it down to $3500 to make it worth looking at. Even then... might have a hard go of it. I sincerely wish them luck though, it's a great looking piece.

    You can get it for about $4,300 if you buy it second hand. Heck, you never know when a good rifle in a suitcase might come in handy. Walkin' around with a SCAR can draw some looks, and after the debacle in CT, possibly alot more.

    price isn't that bad you would have to pay 3500 or more for a good Remington 700 tactical rifle i would rather pay a little more for this one. the way it breaks down it worth that much more

    Wow, maybe they are charging a couple thousand for the suitcase it comes in! I would love to own this weapon... But I would much rather own two scars and a colt 1911 for that price tag.

    Greed justifies this price!

    All these "it's too high priced" comments are before the ban scare. So with the average 308 sellimg for 3-5K what do you think now whiners!

    Would I have to wear white cotton gloves and purchase gold bullets for it. I can tell by looking that it would not fit in a lock box nor would they allow it in a bank. Too rich for me....

    Unobtanium, indeed! It's got the cool-o-meter pegged.

    I agree with others the price is absurd when you could get a SCAR, AR10, a H&K, etc for 1/2 that made by company's that will still exist in 10yrs.

    Now that is a fine AR . It should be priced for more than you are asking . State of the art.

    How many other takedown .308 semi-autos are out there? Put a Walther barrel and Geissele trigger group in it and it soon adds up.

    Couldn't you buy 2 FNH SCARS for that price?

    I love that word: unobtainium... Now my vocab is really growing!

  • Gitarzan

    11/14/2012 6:24:45 PM

    Holy Cow! Is it made of unobtainium?

  • Mack Missiletoe

    Gosh darn! This rifle must be gold plated and diamond emblazoned to demand such a price.

    what justifies the price tag ?
