I'd rather spend my hard earned cash on daily rates, trophy fees and airfare to get there... My most expensive piece is around $2,000 and does everything I ask of it. My philosophy on the hunt is to get as close as possible and I don't need a 1/2 or 1/4 MOA rifle to make a kill shot. Having said all that, I too greatly appreciate a finely made firearm. I have two customs and enjoy using them in the field. But, $10K is mightly rich for my blood... | |||

Years ago I was at a hunting camp, reading a broshure from Jarret. In it he gives examples of people shooting animals at very long distances, and claiming he makes the most accurate rifle in the world. When I asked my PH about this, he started to laugh. He said the only hunter he had who brought a Jarret rifles was such an awful shot, he finished his first box of ammo on his first animal! What was even worse, he did not bring enough ammo with him to finish his safari. I suppose when you believe you are using the "most accurate rifle in the world", all you need is 1 shot for every animal you wish to shoot. Of course, this has nothing to do with how accurate the rifle is, but for those who fall for silly advertising claims. | |||

Definitly not my style. Besides shooting well, guns should be pretty. I really hate plastic stocks. | |||

Wonder if they use the same glue on the bolt handle and a better safety. Besides, they don't have "Beanfields" in Africa. jorge | |||

Have to disagree with you on this one. The one Jarrett rifle that I ever shot was worth every cent asked for it ! | |||

It's a classic adaptation of a great rifle, to the wrong application. Sort like using a Stadivarius as a canoe paddle. Bob | |||

I don't know what the hype is about Jarret's. Their in the market niche of accurate plastic guns like Brown and HS. Quite frankly I'd take the HS over a Jarret any day and pocket the money saved. What makes their "DGR" constitute that kind of price? What is that price tag supposedly buying you over any other PF rifle for 1/5 the price? | |||

I think I'll pass on the "African Beanfield Bubba Special" rifle. Especially when I see on Dakota's web site that new Model 76 African's are going for $7,495.00. And some used Model 76 African's for around $5700-$6100 currently in their inventory. -Bob F. http://www.dakotaarms.com/ Serial #: 2204/#17799 Caliber: 330 Dakota Stock: Special Selection Bastogne Walnut Hand: right $7,495.00 (New) | |||

The Jarrett website recommends a muzzle brake for all rifles of .30 caliber or larger. | |||
