    That is actually not bad, surprising enough. I checked the Weatherby website and some very plain (no engraving, no inlays) pre-made customs ran upwards of $8000.00 US so that's why I guessed so high before.

    I can't stand the inlays... the engraving is cool though.

    Hey if it's not your cup of tea, don't buy it. Simple.

    Keep in mind a guy worked on this rifle for 2 years. It's the craftmanship your paying for.

    A Vanguard probably shoots just as well. Around $ 549 to boot.

    That rifle should be up around $100,000 if a American chapspent two years of his life working on it. To be honest, there is not more than 30 days of handwork on that rifle, which is why its not over $15k.

    It is a nice rifle, very nice rifle especially for the guy who likes that sort of stuff, however a man does not have two years of work of American craftsmanship in that piece. At 10K is could have four years of Chinese craftsmanship in that piece.

    Does anyone really think he spend two years just working on THAT rifle? No one is suggesting that. The PROCESS probably takes two years, while he is working on many at a time. Jeez, its like people never heard of drying, machining, acclimate etc.. You can't just hammer on wood, it flexes and rebounds especially while engraving, same as metal. It is easy to tell a hack job from a good job even if all the lines are straight, this rifle was done by an artist, show some class and respect.

    It's like the guy who has 20K in a 1975 chev 4x4 with a bored out 350, headers, high performance cam, lift kit, 35 inch mudders, you get the idea, but he can only get $3500. for it.

    But, if someone happens to be looking for one just like that, well, he'll get one hell of a deal.
