For the capable, experienced, non-combatant sportsman shooting steel or paper targets is there a significant objective reason to choose a $7K AI over a $2.5KMPA or similar rifle?
With respect to the average enthusiast/sportsman, from a very practical, logical (non emotional or prejudicial) perspective, is there a significant reason to purchase a premium priced sniper brand rifle (i.e. AI, Barret) over a $2-$3k stock, DIY or semi-custom platform. My gut feeling is both can be made to fit/conform comfortably. It sounds like they're both pretty reliable, durable and accurate. I can't imagine it's just the cool factor...can it?
Not trying to stir the pot or prejudice and certainly not trying to denigrate any particular product or brand....just trying to identify what the objective reasons one would note for choosing one over the other.
I absolutely understand if you’re jumping out of airplanes to hunt down the enemy a military rifle has certain very credible, distinct and logistical advantages.
I also understand that in general a Ferrari is a much better and complex engineered tool than a Pinto not only because it costs more and is prettier but also in it’s capabilities. Different tools for different jobs etc.
Just trying to learn and figure out which way to go. thanks
