in terms of Barrett yea but with the same accuracy yes, the gun itself was $1,550 ( with the H & S precision stock)... the scope is a Vortex PST 6x30x50 tactical Scope with MOA redial ( $1,100 ) so in total so far, total investment is around $2,600 plan to add a bipod as well.

and like I said before......

$2,600 vs $9-10k Barrett, minus a scope for it.... but with the same accuracy as the Barrett and ALOT lighter

the Savage 110 FCP 338 Lapua Magnum is a bargain

Price of ammo any more makes it almost impossible outside of work.

New carry piece picked up last night after some trigger work. Gonna get some trijicon HDs for it next and maybe a cerakote

If you reload for it. You're have a hard time. It like to bugle the case, as it's unsupported at the head. The wife's pistol, I can't because it's too bad. Even sent the pistol back to S&W. They said it was ok. If you're using P+'s. Watch the heads on the brass. This is only for the 9mm.

The place for parts for it.

The hype has really gotten out of control.

I ordered 20lbs of powder last May. So far I only have gotten 10lbs of that order. 2- one lb cans Reloader22, and 4350, and 1-8lb can of ARComp. Still waiting on 8lbs of TAC, and 2 lbs of something that I now forgotten.

And the price has gone up since I ordered it.

Wait for this next scare to blow over. Give it another 2-3 months afterward and you should see your powder. I'm about to finally kick off my reloading adventure. Got 5,000 pieces of 5.56 brass that need cut and sized for .300 blackout. Got my work cut out for me. But going all 220gr subs.

Now waiting for my next tax stamp to come in.

What powder? I like AA2230 for my Hornady 68gr BTHP's. Probably can't use that on a 300BK though.

Free courtesy of four years of weapons training/qualification in the Navy. And that's just what I could grab and carry a couple of pockets full at a time. I wasn't the only one that collected brass either so I had to share. Also have 200 some odd cases of .50 to reload.

ARComp or TAC are great powders for the .223. That's why I bought 8lbs each. I'm shooting the Sierra 69gr Match or the 75gr Hornady Match out of my AR15. Also both powders will work with the .308 AR's.

My SOCOM II- sold the EOTech, debating on putting a 1-6x scope. Kimber TLE/ RL II 1911- friend of the family is a tattoo artist and asked him to make me some grips.

I know I'm not suppose to get political on here but its firearms related . No discussion needed.

How do you like that Kimber? Been debating on a 1911 for years. I'd love a Wilson Combat. But I can get a Springfield or Kimber, plus two optics and some other accessories before I hit the price of a Wilson.

1911 is good. I shot many both off the shelf and custom. Kimber makes a good gun. So does Colt if you get the gold. S&W are nice too. Of the customs I recommend Clarke or Baer
