I would put my 597VTR that cost me $420 with the Volquartsen parts against an SR-22 any day. And it came with a Magpul CTR, Magpul pistol grip, and 4 30rd mags, and a bipod for that lol. No optics though, just have a Trophy 4-12x-40 on it for a round $500 total. Just can bring myself to spend more on a rimfire. Now my Tikka Tactical I just got is going to be a money pit lol, still nowhere near $3500 though... Nice build, at least its very unique!
