    I must be missing something. I get it's a nice rifle, but that Stock is $3000, how can the barreled action and magazine be worth $10,000 to $13,000? I mean a $2000 action with a $1000 barrel and a $3000 stock, plus $500 in accessories only makes $6500, $7000 to be fair. What do I get for the other six to nine thousand dollars?

    Had to resurect this old thread. Was googling the cheytac to see if it's available in Canada and it was The price is a little surprising thought since it costs more then some Barrett 50 cals! It got me thinking what would happen if the RCMP decided to re-classify it as a prohib one day like they've done and attempted to do with other rifles? $16000 + tax is a lot of rifle to donate to the RCMP, considering the value would they let owners attempt to re-home them in a market where the regulations have more common sense like America?

    Been considering a big ticket item like a Barrett or other similar large caliber rifle, but after the Swiss arms gun grab in 2014 I lost my nerve to invest in anything over $3-4k

    You get what you get when you buy any fashionable name...you get to say that you own a Chichi-tack!

    Why wouldn't a guy buy a .50 BMG Barrett instead, if you're after a big bore toy to shoot targets, is there a point to spending more thousands on a Cheytac that you can instead use for other firearms that expand your collection?

    No... we imported no more cheytac rifles simply because we could not justify the pricing.
