Well you can replace a closet full of guns with one great one that's how I see it. I was in the market for one recently and it was a 7 mag w/ a 338 win mag barrel and the cost was reasonable I thought and you need to buy 2 scopes for a combo like that anyway. If your a traveler and fly to a lot of spots that is the way to go break it down and put it in a small metal case and your good to go. Probably has the best trigger I have ever squeezed.
