No argument there.
You can buy a $300 factory rifle that'll shoot just as good.
But you're missing the point that it's about the "project"- and the amateur gunsmithing skills learned on a rifle cheap enough that if you screw it up it's no big deal.
It used to be (and still is, at gunsmithing schools) the Mauser action...but now the cheaper MN has taken a front seat.
