Yup. The BDL is pricy for the added looks. Well, I don't think I can come up with a good rifle & glass combo tonite for $500. I see Walmart has the Winchester super shadow is synthetic stock, 270 wsm for a little over $426. Serious screamer, that cartridge is. Doubt you would be dissappointed in it, but that leaves you without sights. I'll ponder....
