The reason the Krauts (and others in Europe) make hunting weapons of higher quality than Americqn mass-produced arms is because in Europe, ONLY THE WEALTHY can afford to hunt! The average Joe Blow hasn't a hope of ever being able to pay the costs involved in maintaining hunting grounds. Here, anyone can hunt because the game is owned by the government (people), not private individuals.
Well, I think most of us in this country would be better off to put our dollars towards purchasing some of our own land to hunt on, because VERY soon hunting in this country will be similar to Europe where only the rich can hunt. If you don't own your own land or can't afford the high cost of leases, you probably won't have a place to hunt in the not to distant future. I much rather have a place to hunt with a cheap old Savage rifle than a closet full of custom rifles that could never be fired at anything other than a paper target.
