In the spirit of this post on precision rifle chassis from the 2017 SHOT show, the Bergara B-14, and the Diamondback AR-10 in 6.5 Creedmoor (I’ve got other articles and posts but I can’t find them at the moment), I thought I would drop the following three newly released rifles out there for you to ponder.
The Juggernaut Tactical precision rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor.
Semi-automatic, some extremely nice features, and hold your breath … MSRP $3300.
Next up, the Battle Rifle Company BR10.
Semi-automatic .308, some very nice features, and hold your breath … MSRP $2998.
Finally, there is the Weatherby Vanguard Modular Chassis Rifle.
Bolt action rifle in .223, 6.5 Creedmoor or .308, some very nice features, and MSRP $1519. It’s strange though, because I don’t see an optic rail on the picture, and optics are not even discussed in the article.
I don’t get the impression that anyone who builds guns for >= $3000 per item thinks that there is a big market for them. They must be marketing to law enforcement, which necessitates a huge margin and markup since quantity will be much lower.
This doesn’t impress me as a winning strategy for a company in today’s climate. But that’s just me. Only one of these rifles is affordable my me or many of my readers.
