You boys better hope there's a value-for-dollar correlation of fit and finish found in your high-end guns. Maybe we should have a "perceived quality" thread. No Newtonian slapdown for that one, eh Jim? I'm told that you can buy everything you need for performance and durability in a $1500 racing bicycle. You can get one for 4-6K now without big increments of increase in performance--matter of refinement and attention to detail where it doesn't really count as well as where it does. Course that's a .01 of a second game in competition so itty-bits count. If you close your gun and it clicks like a miser's purse, will you get more birds? There are diminishing returns of utility for outlay as the price goes up. Whatever the past necessity of doing things the hard way, "handmade, handworked, and handfinished" are today principally a scorekeeper for big money.
