At the risk of being called an "a--hole"........

The move now is to put gear on the market that is "affordable".

Leupold's done it with the Rifleman, Remington's doing it with the 710.

I'd sooner take a Leupold topped Remington over anything else...but it won't be the 710/Rifleman.

There's no bargain in "affordable".

Good Gear sells itself.........
