Why is everyone complaining about the so called high price? Are they comparing it to Norinco or NEA? Compared to a KAC it's a bargain. Since these came out I've gotten rid of my KAC rifles. Don't get me wrong the KAC were very reliable and I did get a chance to use them in some very snowy wet and cold conditions and didn't have a problem. But right away it was very noticeable the groups on the SA-15.7 are a lot smaller. Much more accurate rifle. And am betting more long term durability and reliability.
