I've seent hisposted many times on here, itis an abomonation and een for the work involved and hours It hink it must be grossly overpriced.

There's a principal there though, sometimes just the price tag alone makes an item desirable. My buddy is friends with a local coffee roaster, he told him to double the price on a particular cup of coffee, say it is house's special pick or something. the guy didn't think it would work but did it, sure enough people were buying the hell out of it, why, perceived value.

This one is likely marketed to a non-hunting rich BLIND person. Smiler

Sid-
This is just another example of how overpriced oil is being spent. The engraving is so shallow on that reciever it looks like it was laser etched by a machine. I have seen many pictures of Blaser Imperials that were much more impressive for under 100K. Granted that was a very nice piece of wood I still believe there was around 750K markup on the gun. Good thing they didn't put iron sights on it or it would have gone over 1 million.
