Anomolies in pricing

As in a good/reasonable rifle in .17HMr for £400odd

A moderater.......................................@..£125

A bipod, did I see someone say a Harris @.£120 odd?

A scope, hmmm £50 to...£750, Ok say ?

But regardless of the scope issue, surely there is a lot more engineering in a rifle than in a moderator or bipod, against the costs, are rifles too cheap

or accessories too expensive?

£120 for a Harris bipod? Is it made of platinum?

 

CZ rifles are no longer cheap, but they are cheaper than most of the competition.

Ok

I did wonder about the Bipod price, suppose I should have checked Gunmart, a while since I bought/ perused one

but what engineering is there in a sound moderater?

[Baldrick]

Quite a lot of engineering goes into a £125 sound moderator, such as a Wildcat or LEI. They're fairly sophisticated bits of kit, when you compare their construction and efficiency to a budget offering from SAK or Parker Hale.

[Milligan]

Moderators have to be able to withstand repeated pressures and are built to very fine tolerances. Do you really want your bullet passing through something you don't trust?

 

As for scopes, the engineering that goes into a quality one is mind boggling.

There are cheaper bipods than Harris, Buffalo River and Shooters Ridge being 2 that come to mind that are reasonable quality but not extortionate.
