    No, I can’t even own a rifled gun yet, just subbed to some units and like checking out their gear.

        My opinion? Checking how much something costs is free and is a fact

        edit: some examples for you, Archer TSA-7 is $15k, SAFRAN JIM LR is $20-30k used. Mk211 is $100 a pop, but even if we’re talking about hunting-adjacent rounds high quality 338 and 308 are still expensive

          Son, I’m 50 with a case full of reach out and touch someone, and I casually ring steel at 200 yards with a model 80 in 308 (which is a favorite sniper round by the way) with a couple hundred bucks of redfield scope. 20 rounds is $30.

          Just because you can find expensive toys doesn’t mean that is what it takes to do the job.

          Don’t believe the hype.
