They must worship at the alter of PT Barnum. He said "It's wrong to allow a fool to keep his money"

I see a nice action. Not any nicer then a Winchester M-70 and not as classic and beautiful (in my eyes) as a pre-war M98 Military Mauser. I doubt it's any better then a CZ Magnum action either. Both
the M-70 and the good M98s I can find for under three hundred, and in the case of the Mauser, under $250 many time. Sure, I have to open them up and make them work if I want a large cartridge to feed, but I assure everyone I can do that work, have done it several times, and I can do for MUCH less money.

Just to illustrate the point, here are some pictures of harry Sleby's 416 Rigby, Made on a STANDARD length M98 Mauser.

Here is my 404, (not checkered yet) also made on a standard length M98.

$9,000 to $15,000 for just an action seems to be an open insult to the intelligence of any shooter or hunter ever born,----------- but maybe PT Barnum was right.
We'll see.
