Tell em the price son! FMD $3k plus - a lot of $$ just to shoot a few pigs etc. (nice rifle but)

It's still cheaper than any new Cat D in Australia, far more accurate as well, most production Cat D are only good for 1 MOA.

There is about a 10 month wait for delivery, i suspect that might be because Bartlein barels have a long wait due to backlog of orders.

I guess there is probably a "Cat D tax" on them, right?

One more bit pricing people out of it.
