Yea, I have seen cheaper rifles, but I do like the sass it has pretty much everything I would want on it. The only Thing I would change is the handguard and I may never even change that. Only reason I as is my father seems to thing the prices are high and I should wait, since the republicans are back in power. But wonderfull Hickenlooper is still our gonverner unfortunatly... With all the goodies on it those add up to guestimation like 500 dollars in extras.
