Too many guns are made just to have this or that model out there to take your money, when the gun itself sucks on the field.
If I'm going to snipe, I'd rather have a gun that looks like granpappy's hunting rifle -but is a performer, than some 'Blaser' looking gucci gun that gives very little actual performance gain over an aeg, yet is bolt action. An inaccurate 500fps is still inaccurate, and can't really be called a sniper rifle.
If I could have that and have it look like the Timberwolf, all the better.

Thats why tanaka made the M24 and VfC made the barret. High end snipe but with a cost.
