In my industry we have a saying. Quality, Speed, Low Price, pick two, you will never have all three.
I think the coolest part about this rifle, besides being NR, is the fact it's being made, start to finish, with pride and quality, in Alberta Canada. Quality labor in Alberta doesn't come cheap. In fact I'm amazed at your price point with the specs you have, being even possible being built in Calgary. It must be because your people love what they do, not because they want to get rich.
There are cheap used NR options out there for guys if they really want one, but we all know that is comparing apples to oranges with the shooter you're building. A friend of mine is in on the pre order, and I can't wait to play with his. I'm also subscribed for when the small caliber variant of this rifle shows up. In the meantime, I am still of the opinion that this rifle is a bargain already.
