we all know and agree where your coming from, but when someone is looking out for the well being of there investments being agriculture or other sources of income with pest control and the sport of hunting to feed the family.......the "$2K and beyond guns" pay for themselves quickly with trust and performance
in the situations that arrive with shot by shot precision and the repair support that is available by there manufacturers
or our members here that can repair top tier guns and parts availability.
i also have some sub $400 guns and they do suit there needs well.
