Someone once posted a link to a magazine article where they compared, on the range, a Handi-rifle to a very expensive custom rifle. I don't remember the name brand of the gun, but the price tag was about $9000.00. The article had a title about the cost of accuracy, or something like that. I need help locating that article. Could someone please re-post the link for me. Thanks.

This is a good answer to why we put more money into these little rifles or a better ? , why would someone spend $9000.00 for a rifle that does not shoot any better than a $250.00 rifle.

The answer to both is , WE WANT TO .

Wish I could have that stock on my Handi though

But It's not worth the extra $8750 to me

I bet you could get a set of Gun stocks inc. stocks and send them to a stock maker to be finished and cheakered for less than $8000.00 , of corse i could be wrong .

Mac11700 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 26, 2006, 02:02:15 PM »

You could have a drop dead gorgous set of AAA fancy checkerd English Walnut ones from Weinig...for about $1200-$1500 depending on the finish
