$3K Rifle Build vs Bought - It’s Not Even Close

We've seen some high-end setups lately that didn't really impress us all that much, and it made us ask the question, what can you get if you build a comparably priced system? We dive in and find out just how crazy you have to go to even get a setup that costs as much as some of these boutique setups that come with loafers and turtle necks. Buckle up as we show you that having the skills of an 8th grader can probably save you a few thousand ducks.
