^ Yea, thats kinda what I'm thinking... Patience will probably pay off.
Either that or I'll just go with a $600 Remington 750 Woodsmaster?
I doubt I'll be shooting it enough to produce any real wear, its less than half the price, and it'll skid right past my wife and anyone else who has suddenly become aware of the differences between wood stocked hunting rifles and those evil AR platforms that nobody needs or should have.
Perhaps buying one in woodsy camo will validate a AR as a hunting rifle?
