[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1489634, member: 27307"] There is more to the Remington Sheep Rifle than just the price. Here is their blog about many of the facets involved with the project: [URL]https://www.remington.com/custom-shop/blog[/URL] I think that it's interesting that they address the price because of comments being made by consumers: [SIZE=5][B][URL='https://www.remington.com/custom-shop/blog/posts/about-price']ABOUT THE PRICE[/URL][/B][/SIZE] July 17, 2017 [SIZE=5][B]A few words on the cost of the rifle[/B][/SIZE] [I]We’ve noticed some recent concern about the price of the Ultimate Sheep Rifle, which we are happy to take a moment to address. It’s important to remember that this is a custom rifle (not a production firearm) built to meet the specific requirements and goals laid out by KUIU founder Jason Hairston. Each and every decision that went into the construction of this rifle was made based on his years of experience hunting wild sheep throughout North America’s most rugged and unforgiving landscapes. Hairston worked with the Remington Custom Shop to build the Ultimate Sheep Rifle to meet his needs. [/I] So here we have another big shot lending his ideas about a rifle used for hunting sheep in mountainous areas. My guess is that he didn't get onboard without a payment of some sort. Scroll down the page to a video prepared to show some of the decision process. In this video and elsewhere in the blog, they discuss how 'custom' this rifle is then go on to explain that it is the vision of Jason Hairston which makes it custom. I have to disagree with this assessment since by my definition, custom for me means that I choose the parts and every other detail regarding the build then turn the gunsmith loose. While these rifles are being built in the custom shop rather than on the production floor, I think you can make a case for these rifle to be a high grade version but they are still production rifle using better grade parts. We have no input unless you include the cartridge. The whole blog is a long form commercial for the rifle. It's not bad at all, it's just a commercial. [/QUOTE]
