If I'm not mistaken at that level in addition to rifle and scope you are also paying for barrel break in, load development, Long-range data collection....

Is there an extra package which would include a shooter who will hunt for you as you watch?

LOL...don't think so but in a market where many people have far more money than time, you are seeing many gunsmiths offer this service.
 
Ah, my grandparents used to make their own soap, churn their own butter, shoe their own horses, make their own clothes...bla...bla....bla. If a guy doesn't have the time to work up a load for a rifle and collect all the long-range data but has the money to pay someone to do it properly....I fail to see the harm. The leap from there to he will never practice is a big one. People are willing to pay for the gain of free time these days....just look at how many people shoot factory ammo. Ya...ya...I know the old ways are always best but I'm okay with the butter I had on my toast this morning and the soap I showered with.
 
If I had $7K that I just had to spend, I'd spend +/-$1000 on the rifle with scope and the rest would go towards a hunt somewhere else.
 
Ya it's hard for some in other parts of the country to fathom but it's not that uncommon for guys to be making $1,000-$1500+/day in that part of Canada. They work hard and they play hard. $7k isn't even a week's wages for many....lol
 
$1500 a day is pretty standard in the patch for skilled individuals, and it goes up from there for engineers, pressure welders, and so forth. Plenty of folks I work around blow $10,000 in Vegas on a weekend for kicks, so maybe the rifle is a good use of the funds. One coworker just flew first class at $20,000 for a ticket to India, just because he can, only a week's wages as he puts it. Corlanes is certainly positioned well, hunting wise, and clientele wise. This said, no matter how much he has to spend, I can think of better uses of the funds.
 
I do believe this rifle is built to the customers specs ,and wishes for the type of hunting specified by him .The rifle is then set up and data collected ,also note this is not a savage or remington action .The people that do purchase these packages that I have talked to are happy with their purchase and support from Corlains and realize that this is their rifle /custom and will most likely never sell it for what they spent on it .

also in the custom rifle world most people who have this done realize that having a rifle built to their taste doesn't make it valuable to others just them .Also Corlains retails the run of the mill savages and remingtons that fit most of the budgets of the price point shoppers .

That is the nice part of having the extra income to make your own choice of how it can be spent

Live that way 52 times per year and it is. What I meant is that wealthy people don't spend money foolishly. I know a few younger guys working out west making piles of money. A lot of them would be on the street within a few weeks if they lost their job.

Regardless, if someone wants to buy a rifle for $7k and it makes them happy, have at it. It's no worse of an "investment" than a new car/truck.
 
Myself I read enough here already and I have one input regarding Corlane.
A friend sent them his factory 22-250 to AI the chamber.
They were too lazy to remove the barrel from the action and did the reaming with it as a complete barreled action.
And they f@cked it up because his fired brass now demonstrates this off centre chamber.

A hack job.

Income and opportunity attract all types, plenty of the folks have their heads on straight with paid off homes and a papered skill to fall on, plenty don't as well. If the bubble ever bursts half will be happy with the money they made and half will have a reality check. Should prove interesting to see what oil and gas prices do to Canada and the patch in the near term.
