Don't you mean you'll be assembling this gun? Looks to me like it's already built.

That's why I will never buy one of these. As nice as they are, there's simply no challenge involved.

i have thought about what i actually did, and what you said. let's see, i sanded, i scrapped, i drilled, i whisked, i stained, i burnished, i filed, i aged, i fitted, i cut, i ground, i coated, i sweated over, i assembled, i tested, i ran into problems, dissembled, fixed problems, i reassembled. you are right! i did everything but build it, no challenge involved at all, nothing to it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

To each his own. I’ve not built from a plank but have built some kits OTK. I’ve built some furniture and some luthier work. I really enjoyed the 4 Kiblers I’ve “assembled” myself and others. I think they are a marvel and get better with each iteration. The joy one receives from telling others at deer camp that you built this rifle is pretty cool.
Some like a challenge and some like the result. I’ve killed deer with mine.
I want to jump in and ask why you want to rain on others parade?
The fellow is enjoying the process. I get enjoyment out of others enjoyment in this hobby.
