+1000000 on that one!!!!!

seriously though, if i've not used one first hand, i'm not buyin it... i'm an open minded guy, i'll try anything i have the opportunity to (round, gun, scope, whatever)... but the gun has to be a complete package for me, has to look great, feel good, fit me nicely, be made from high quality materials and have a reputation of reliability... I'm a firm believer in "get what you pay for" and also a firm believer in "I can't afford to buy cheap stuff"... i typically only get one chance at buying something so I do my homework and buy the best one for me that i possibly can so i don't have to go and buy another <item of your choice here> when i'm dissatisfied with the "cheap" one i purchased...

but having to pick only one of the above, i chose real world experience with it...

Price always plays a big role. I have to pick a price range before I start looking at the other factors, because while a $2000 custom rifle may score high marks in all of the aforementioned categories, it's way more than I can afford to spend at this point in my life.

For me it’s, overall reputation, quality of material, fit & finnish of material, reputation for reliability & reputation for accuracy and not necessarily in that order. That's all...:eek:

I voted quality but it more than that to me. I quess the main thing is bang for the buck, I don't give a hang about snob features and when I lay down the money I demand that the product gives top value for the money.

First, it has to be in a cartridge I want or the rest don't matter.
Second, it has to fit me and feel good or the rest don't matter.
