Well after several years of hands on field use in some of the most God forsaken enviroments I have no complaints all things considered.Can you build one cheaper?Absolutely.Can you build a more accurate replacement?Definately.Are these other cheaper built more accurate guns readily in production?Probably Not.Are they readily broke down for ease of carry and concealment?Doubtful but Maybe.EDM's cost almost half as much as one of Cheytac's own version to boot.Kind of like the old saying,There's an *** for every seat but each one is different.Make no mistake I appreciate and Respect your opinion,just trying to help out a buddy that needs to move it due to unforseen circumstances that arose after he ordered it.Can't wait for some down time to build a custom Titanium takedown with a Carbon fiber barrel an intergrated suppressor.That way I can carry more ammo.Pretty cool huh?
