Yes, I've got a TCR. I'm naked now of course. Had to sell my clothes.

So nobody has one of these. Cool.

Define way overpriced?? if you compare to a smith and wesson, then yes youre right.

However, lets think about this. Its a custom built rifle, made of billet to lantacs own design. The stock is custom, the trigger is custom, the mod is customised, the bolt group is hand fettled to work with subs, all that costs money. Its not a box of factory bits flown in from the states and reassembled, its a custom rifle.

No one seems to bitch about a custom 700, but no one likes a custom AR price.
Bizarre.

Semi automatic, high capacity military style rifle?!!! :o

Is that good for "our sport"?!

Can you say hypocrite?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Yes. lol

When people say that Lantac is expensive I say it depends what spec of rifle you want. My TCR .223 cheaper than any other straight pull side charging rifle. I asked all the builders at the time, Lantac was cheapest for a 16 3/4" barrel with side charger. SGC were next, but their rifle was a forged upper. I'm not bothered by forged receivers, but why go forged when billet was cheaper.

Sim, stick a drum mag on my 10/22 and I tick 2 of your three boxes?
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

...or even all three boxes

The 10/22 was used in Vietnam...in several variants

It also served with the IDF...in the role of "less lethal" anti-rioter weapon.
A few rioter deaths later, it had a change in designation...but continued in service.
