Hold on there! I've had two 404J rifles, thank you! And a total of 8 rounds fired! LOL!!!Well tell us about the .404 crowd there Toby... weren't you a member for like four shots and a few weeks?
In glad you got the rifle sold there and quickly. I almost talked myself into it, but figured I'd have to give up my .458 Lott #1 and there's just no way in hell that's happening.
I have to agree with you there on the complete rifle for cost. Although many good points have been made about air travel and such.
I have to say I respect you both for your willingness to lay out large sums to purchase fine things, but also to liquidate them when they do not live up to what seems to be a practical set of expectations. I fear that admission price for some comes with a damning commitment to defend their choice to the last lest they imperil their ego.
One other thing I will say about the R8 is, if you buy them used, at a good price, you won't lose any money if you do decide to sell. And you may just make a few dollars, if you play your cards right.
I've never owned much of anything for ego's sake. Heck, I drive a 2002 Chevrolet pickup and a 1999 Jeep. Point A to point B is fine with me. But as for guns, I do prefer the nicer things. But I will say you don't have to spend a huge amount to get a fully reliable and nice looking rifle. It's all about preference.
