500Grains,

You make a very good point. There is a world of difference (cost wise) between the best working DGR and the best/most expensive DGR. Very good ("best" implies only one) working DG bolt actions can be had for around $2500 on up. The very "best" DG rifles have no upper limits on what they cost, only limiting factor is what you can afford. BTW, there is a place for both of these types of rifles.
