    Funny how the difference between $920 and $1,100 seems like a lot to some, especially when the quality difference is worth more than $180.

    $180.00 represents a lot of money for some.

    I know a guy who works for Walmart, makes very little money and owns a BM. He's embarrassed to admit he owns this brand as he knows it's loe quality level, but told me it was all he could afford. He bought it used for a fairly low cost.

    He loves to shoot and so far his BM has delivered.

    A lot of us here carry/have carried a gun for a living, so the thought of having a weapon that's not 100% reliable is something we would never consider, especially when you can get that reliability for just a couple hundred dollars more. I'd rather wait a little longer and get a rifle I can depend on than buy a sub-par gun RIGHT NOW.

    Just because you live in small town USA doesn't mean you'll never be put in a situation where you'll have to defend your life or the lives of your family.

    I agree, for just a few hundred more, a much better base gun could be had. Not to mention resale value. When you can't rely on it 100%, it's a range toy.
