no offense to the folks here but heres some questions of wisdom to ponder for the op and the rest of us.
The concept of a high end rifle rig has been put towards the concept of do we need expensive luxory cars/trucks.
I know alot of folks who have high end trucks. I mean, the heavy duty and super duty pickups. The only thing they ever do with them is go to work, get gas, and get groceries. IF they are lucky they might, MIGHT use it to carry a bag or two of wood pellets home every few days in winter. Are they better served by a 45,000 dollar v8 diesel super duty crew cab then if they had an al camino or a chevy blazer or 12 year old f150?
I used to be on the rimfirecentral(?) forum and loved talking with the folks there when i got into squirrel and pest control with a 22. SOME of those folks were happy spending 1200 on a custom 10/22 just so they could have the "fancy" gun when they did their weekly or monthly fun shoot at the local shooting range with their drinking buddies. Normally they didnt do any worse or better then the other guys who simply brought in a stock 10/22 or marlin semi auto purchased that morning at kmart or walmart.
Do you need the yokohama racing tires for your toyata camry when standard michelin or cooper tires will give you better tread, traction, and cost value for the car you simply drive to work everyday in?
its like grandpop said, "do you really need a 150 dollar carbon fiber barrel and 200 dollar laminated target thumbhole stock and 200 dollar BDC scope on your 10/22 when you can already shoot a raccoon or squirrel in the head at 50 yards with the cheapest bulk ammo at walmart?"
