"Cant" I also have one. I did not pay a full $800 for mine. But if I needed another I would pay that amount. You will get alot of comments from guys who have probably never owned one. Or a person who has some "skin in the game". The internet is well known for that. I am just a day in day out hunter who would not trade his LRH for any other production MZ out there. And yes I also do prefer to buy American, if you notice I have a Leupold on mine. Talk is cheap.
Is the LRH a tad heavy?? Yes it is, but I prefer that. When I want a lighter rifle I take my MK-85. Not sure how anyone could have a better MZ battery than that?? Except of course a good custom sidelock.
