CDNN Investments in Texas, http://www.cdnn.com, is selling essentially the same FN Patrol rifle in .308 for $599.99 with black Hogue stock or $699.99 in olive drab. This gun has an aluminum bedding block so I’m not sure what Wilson adds (if anything) in terms of custom bedding. Maybe nothing at all.

Of course, I’m sure Wilson Combat can justify charging $1995.00 ($1395.01 more than CDNN), by virtue of the spectacular job Wilson’s smiths must do turning a screw to adjust the trigger.
Looking at the Wilson web site, I suppose it’s possible Wilson upgrades the barrel, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Shop CDNN, and save enough to buy a Nightforce scope!
