Cosmetics have their price- are they worth it? To some, maybe.

In all my years of shooting and hunting I've learned two things:

1) Fancy schmancy cosmetics get marred up very quickly in the field if you're actually using it for real hunting. Re-sale value on your investment has gone down due to scratches, nicks, dings, etc. Who wants to take AAAAA+ walnut stock and high polished bluinginto the field?

2) Flawless function and outstanding accuracy provide two things:
Confidence in your rifle and day in, day out reliability. I'll take anoption 2 SHOOTER everytime!!!
