$400 is very reasonable for a 6.5 if it will stand up to the shooting.
Exactly! Lets hope these become available before the next round of bans and restrictions kick in. I would be satisfied with a hunting grade weapon, as opposed to something for shooting 1000's round of junk ammo. Then again, a priority for me would be accuracy.
And only a couple years after the peak of piston driven popularity!
I make my own decisions on a gun by gun basis. And I may be willing to gamble $400 to see something new for myself in 6.5. Fads aside, there are lots of great piston designs as well as DI. The AK is not a DI gun. I dont see any peak there.
