I'm sure the noslers are a nice rifle, but you can build this yourself with an MDT HNT26 chassis (which is what nosler is using) for significantly less than what these boys are asking. I didn't think nosler had a big enough reputation as a rifle builder to ask 5400 dollars for a rifle if I'm being honest. I've never seen one in the wild.
A very interesting rifle. One can get the single shot Barrett for this kind of money
but it does not have the carbon fiber chassis.
