Well and good, but why make a decent rifle available only as an extra-cost Package option? If one has the capability to do so, as they imply, why not charge a bit more and build every rifle correctly to begin with?
Stag targets the budget shooter. Why would they up their prices and move into the mushy middle when they're largely dominating the low end?
Think of it as Timex building a watch to compete with Rolex. They have nothing to gain, nothing to offer that isn't already available from the entrenched "first minder" brand. Who on this site would buy a Stag AR, even if they were "just as good" as the top companies? Not many.
Many categories (regardless of product type) are trending toward "barbell" style sales distribution. Big volumes in the cheap and premium categories, with floundering companies in the middle losing customers to the two extremes.
This isn't an illegal gun, it's an "undocumented protection device". Don't be so insensitive.
