R&D as well as tooling costs I assume? I haven't heard of them getting any large military orders to offset the initial startup costs.

This, most likely...Originally Posted by Locos
I'm probably missing something here but isn't the SAPR pretty much the same as say a black special just in 308. Does that justify 1.5 k per rifle in R&D etc. Im no expert by an means, so I'm probably way off in my thinking here.
The 7.62/308 was developed first but abandoned for 5.56 cool aid 20 years ago. That's the reason the 5.56 receivers are so bulky/overbuilt. It's beyond me why it has taken 3 years to bring it to market. Maybe they should take the strapped to a shark's head accuracy requirement out of the testing...

Glad to see it "maybe"? coming to Canada. But wow $$$$.

Always wanted a black rifle in .308 and non-res but there's NO way I could talk momma into letting me get one at that price.I have Swiss Arms taste on a Swiss cheese budget.
My LugNuts require more torque than your car makes!
Knights SR25's and such are very nice guns as well and also in this price range...and restricted.....this one's not.
By they way, SAN is doing quite well with military orders. Not any hudge 10's of thousands but quietly making many good steady sales, to special clients.

All of this talk of a $5k price tag is all just smoke...as is the discussion of how good it is. Who here has shot one?....<insert crickets chirping here>....
