Quality is well worth the price.

I don't have pics of all the groups that have been shot with these guns but they will easily hold .5 out to 1000 yards as long as I do my part. I shot the 338 at 1920 yards a few months back and had. 4 consecutive hits on a deer sized target. Here is a group shot with the accurate ordinance built 223 during break in. The gun only has 75 rounds down the tube but is a hammer.

Nice rifles. I have accepted my addiction and I hope my wife one day will. The sad part is I just sold that 6.5saum 4 days ago so I could build another 6.5 Saum just with a longer barrel and using a custom short action instead of a Remington long action. There is no sense to my madness.

Haha thanks mine are still to young to understand where their college funds are going. I think I can squeeze another 10 years of collecting before they catch on. I've done the collecting of drag cars and streetable "race" cars this hobby is far cheaper.

I am in the process of building a 338 lapua. I have been reading about the 6.5 saum. How do you like it? I love it. Hard hitting and flat shooting. I hunted and shot targets all last year with mine killed 2 deer and a few hogs with it and not one of them took a step. I'm shooting the 140 Berger hybrids out of it. Had confirm hits on steel out to 1600 with it no problem. I actually sold that rifle and in the process of building a new one right now on a defiance or big horn action with a 27in barrel instead of a 24in.

Don't tell her what they are worth. Just leave a note in your gun safe, so she can find it after your gone and you don't have to listen to the lectures.
