Is $5-6,000 unreasonable for a customized high-performance sniper rifle, and the full kit of parts and tools you'll need to keep it working for 50 years?markmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-21402494944206127432014-02-18T16:28:53.660-05:002014-02-18T16:28:53.660-05:00Sigvald -- and ongoing logistical support is gener...Sigvald -- and ongoing logistical support is generally boilerplate in single source procurement contracts.Geodkythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328915597574377444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-30556307735840260802014-02-17T19:31:16.877-05:002014-02-17T19:31:16.877-05:00staghounds asked about an expensive sounding snipe...staghounds asked about an expensive sounding sniper rifle:<br /><br />If you read the article closely, you also see "<i>The contract calls for the delivery of rifle systems that include AAC Titan QD suppressors and millions of rounds of Barnes ammunition, according to Hanna's office.</i>".<br /><br />So, not just 5,000 rifles.<br /><br />Also 5,000 suppressors and several million rounds of Barnes .308, .300WM, or .338 Lapua, and fancy scopes (which the PSR includes in the spec).<br /><br />And contra "four times retail", you can't <i>buy</i> an MSR retail, even not in PSR spec.
