Ok thanks, maybe I will keep my eyes open for a previously enjoyed version.
They have 308 assembled for a good price
and.... once a guy has the tools , which aren't really a huge investment , and once a guy has used them to build his own rifle..... he comes to realize how fun and satisfying it was and building that next one , or helping a buddy build his/hers gives you a whole new hobby to enjoy.
I see your point, I will have to see what what the budget can do.
Any update on the receiver sets? July delivery has come and gone.
