Article in the latest 'Rimfire' special issue

The author, Mike Schoby must be looking for a wealthy elitist readership.  After his penned article 'The Pickup Plinker', I ran the numbers for his build.  $2,600!! Good Grief, even much more if you consider shipping, FFL fees, sales tax, over 10% in many localities, and potential credit card fleecing of 3%.  No doubt Mr. Schoby had the advantage of the perks awarded to authors who promote products.

    Welcome
    No doubt those that pen the articles do not pay as we would.
    I read them to pick up ideas for certain parts of their guns, like triggers.

    A penny not spent in pursuit of the spectacular. Is a penny saved for pursuit of saved pennies........

    Welcome, hey.

    Welcome!  So what kind of guns do you like to shoot?  Are you intro precision rimfire guns?  I agree that $2,600 is a lot of money for a “plinker” but hey, not my checkbook! 😁

    One post rant, and our new person is done???
    Oh well, I was hoping for more.
    Didn't read the article myself.
    My two 22lr clone Charger plinkers were pretty inexpensive.
    I won the stocks, barrels, and actions in a shooting match.
    The triggers were the most expensive, not counting the optics.
