While looking into buying a .408 Cheytac rifle, I came across this.

[Trouble]

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=324214549 31 thousand dollars? Do people really buy newly manufactured guns for that much money? I could understand a belt fed transferable, but this gun is readily available and the price isn't being drive by a poor supply/demand ratio. What makes this 3x as expensive as an m107? Maybe I should go back to looking at .50 bmgs for cost savings haha.

It's named after a Norse god, that's gotta be worth 20K right there.

 

[Trouble]

I'd take a lesser God like Tyr or Loki for a discount.

 

[canislupy]

Newly manufactured for this kind of money? No. Why get new for $30k when you can get this?

Bah! You should see the "Odin" package. Comes with a camo eyepatch and 2 stuffed ravens.

 

[Trouble]

That's what I'm saying. If I were going to spend 30k on a firearm it would be a transferable belt fed. I'm not a good enough shot to even notice how good a 30k long range rifle is. Hell, .408 cheytac is already waaaay too accurate of a round for my skill level, I just think it's a very interesting caliber. I can hit the side of a barn at 1000 yards, but i'm not sniping apples off someones head.

 

[canislupy]

I just want to know why he put an ACOG on an M60 with a full size barrel? Go E3/MK43 on that bad boy if you want to scope it otherwise keep it classic!

And yeah, I'll take a Savage bolt and use the difference for NFA, or a new car... or ammo, haha.

i can see you missed the $100,000 shoulder-fired bullpup barrett...

Don't be ridiculous, it's only 90k with buy it now. That thing is all kinds of useless. I like how they managed to not decrease the overall length but just put half of it behind the shooter like an RPG. I hope this is an ultimate troll auction.

This is the first time I've ever even heard of a .408 Cheytac.

No big deal. If .308 is the best rifle round ever made, the Cheytac is only .1 better.

To shoot?

I thought that .408 Cheytac ammo was no longer being produced. For the same money you could get a McMillan Tac-416 chambered in Barrett .416 which is a pretty BA rig.

I saw that movie. I must have been calculating spin drift when the Cheytac was mentioned.

 

[bullseye]

The Thor 408 Cheytac is actually 30,000 for .gov purchase, if a civie wants to buy it, it's only 1200 bucks, but you don't get the option of the 600 dollar hammer.

 

[Business]

To shoot?

lol I suppose its your money.

 

[PatMcD]

You are the smartest person I know.

You don't have the spin drift tables memorized? Noob....

 

[Gman021]

Looks like a Cheytac M200. They went out of business, but I believe they are starting up again.

EDM Windrunners are the same guns.

But, it comes with all this stuff:

It's gotta be work $30k, right?

No, I think you need a helmet, fatigues, and boots for that:

only 120 bucks per box

 

[Zappa]

Current Bid $0.00 No Reserve!
Started at $30,500.00
Buy It Now $31,000.00

What gets me about these auctions is the "No Reserve" part.
Obviously they don't understand what the term means if they're starting the auction at $500 under the Buy it Now price.
Yes, there is a reserve, it's $30,500.01
If someone bids that number, and nobody beats it, the item sells for that amount, but not for any less.
