If we follow some people logic here, a person who spends $7000 on a rifle is rich? Not necessarily. If we are talking about small amounts, it's a question of how much you are willing to spend on certain things. However, if you are willing to buy a 2 million dollars home, you better be wealthy. The sweet spot price of a bottle of red wine is about $25, then the law of diminishing returns kicks in. Honestly, I have not determined the best value price point of a semi auto AR10 6.5 CM yet. It looks like it is better to have both semi auto and bolt sniper rifles, probably bolt first since I already have an M1A Springfield.
