I was browsing over at sitting fox and noticed his prices are a good 1-200 cheaper than most other places. Seams he uses same locks, barrels and everything else. The only thing that I would see that he gets different or /makes are the stocks.
For example sitting fox is advertising a lancaster kit for 499 grade 4 maple stock included. Another place is saying 480 plus stock price
What the deal? Are these good kits or what?
All I can say is ya get what ya pay for...... Also keep in mind what one guy considers good, could be very questionable to another man....... :hmm:
I guarantee ya you take a cheap kit & put it beside a high $ kit & you
Will see a definate difference. In Wood, Barrel, Lock, and all of the component parts. The high dollar one will have the best of the best, the cheap on will have the cheapest the guy could buy at the time..... And the end product will normally show this as well....
Now, if you are a guy that can build anything with nothing, really won't matter except you can't put natural
class into a piece of wood.
However, if you are a new builder & want something real nice to show for your efforts, save a lil more & go with the best kit. When it is all over, you will be glad ya did & ya won't have all of those migraines.... :thumbsup:
If you are building a "throw in the back of the truck" beater sort of rifle, go with the elcheapo parts & hope the thing goes together right & you can build it.
When I look for parts, I always look for the best first, then I consider price. Experience of buying them has shown me who I can trust to get quality parts from & it has seldom been the cheapest guy....... there is a reason they are always cheaper..... and it is not because they just like you or are doing you a favor...... :grin:
:thumbsup:
