Outdoor Life

So the scope and trigger are a bit tricked-out, it's still no assault weapon, so no problem.

$17k for the latest and greatest toy? Pfft, I'm sure there are folks who'd spend that for a sound system on their yacht. Ferrari still sells cars, for more money than makes sense, and with more speed/power than any "reasonable" person would need.

Does this take the challenge out of the sport? Yes, of course, but not all hunters are looking for challenge. Some (not the $17k rifle guys) are looking for food. Others (like the $17k rifle guys) are just looking for trophies and bragging rights.

Wake me up when that scope can find a deer by heat signature in the fog, and determine the gender of the deer.
