    Gun hype?

    Are you a gun hype? I just got into the Noveske ( http://www.noveskerifleworks.com/ ) hype. I think its because everybody else is ohhing and ahhing over thim. I have A.R's. , but want one of these now. I know you can get a A.R. Easy around $600-$1000, but I want one that cost twice as much. Now I'm thinking what guns can I sale to take some of the hurt off my pockets. It sucks being laid off.

    Any way have you ever got a gun just because everyone else liked it?

    Noveske's are hyped for a good reason - they use top quality parts for all their builds

    I buy all of my guns for their performance, but usually end up upgrading the asthetics.

      i'll buy a gun because of good reviews. not because of the drool factor.

        I buy based on how I fell about the product, not on hype, quality, feel, function and operation are my main determining factors.

          Nope, I don't usually follow the crowd unless I'm convinced that the gun is good. Also, if I end up hating the gun then I'll hate those who recommeded it...it's like as if I was tricked.

          I like to try stuff for myself, while at the same time consider others' advice/input.

                Are you asking if Noveske rifles are overpriced due to hype? They are not.

                Are you asking if I buy stuff because other people have the same product? I do not.

                      I don't have a Glock or an H&K, so I think I'm pretty hype-proof.

                        And have a HK USP and it isn't because of hype.

                        I purchased it over 12 years ago when they weren't very well known.

                        I purchased it after reading, asking questions, and using it myself.

                          I read what firearms are reviewed well....I test them out and determine if the money spent is worth the performance increase. I find training and practice take me alot further than fancy new designs or high grade parts. Now both would be nice but I don't have unlimited funds.

                            My daughter used to work for Noveske Rifle Works and she gave me a cool hat!
                            I couldn't talk her out of her rifle to go with the hat, even though I did try pretty hard.

                              Guns are WAY too expensive to buy based on the hype factor alone.
