Any rifle owners or hunters here?

Well, so I thought. But you seemed to think that was way too much. Does the XCR 700 run closer to $1000?

Why do you say that part in yellow? ...is it the cost?

That's the thing... I'd hate spending more money in a year to buy another big bore rilfle. Why do you think I might want to upgrade if I got a regular 700?
