Someone Please Explain This One To Me
Okay so I have been trying to sell my BCM 16" Carbine. I have had 6 different people come over to look at it. I have taken the time to explain how the quality of the rifle parts are essential to the long term life and functionality/dependability of the rifle. Most of them were saying that that is great and the rifle is certainly worth the $1,400 I am asking.
So then why did they not buy it? Well because they wanted a carbine with a scope. When I asked what kind of scope most said at least an 8x power scope. Essentially a hunting scope or similar.
I was like you know you could buy a scope yourself instead of looking for one with a scope. They said sure, but they weren't sure what scope was best. So when I ask them what they plan on using the rifle for such as hunting, plinking, HD, etc. they look at me crazy and ask why would they use it for HD. I explain that some do for various reasons. Anyway, they say primarily for plinking. Some say for varmint, plinking and all around purposes.
I ask them if they know what a M4 Carbine type rifle is for. They are not sure what I am asking or so that is the look on their faces. The clearly did not understand that the M4 Carbine is a fighting rifle. It is primarily used for short to medium range engagements. Not for varmint or plinking or sniping (which I assume most if not all wanted it with a scope for that kind of purpose).
So why do so many people want a carbine length rifle with a rifle length scope on it? I am NOT talking about variable 1x - 4x RDS scopes and the like.
I guess I should buy a $100 scope and put it on the rifle and raise the price to $1,500 and then sell it?
