Challenge seems to be the cost of components for this calibre - bullets are at the high end it seems, and brass is obscenely priced. Factory rounds are at the stupid end of expensive from what I can see too. Cheers.

From what I have seen bullets and finished ammo are no more expensive than any of the other ammunition in that same category.
I too would be looking for a used unit if I were going to buy any rifle these days.
