Today, not bad, a while back too much if you had a 03 ffl. If the condition is really

M/N rifles. American arms tend to be sports cars. Russion arms more like tractors. Both
get a job done.
I personally admire American precision rifles. (say, Remington 700).
I admire how Russians can make something that works that a peasant with a bit of education
can keep working. My sports car and tractor comment was praise for a different way of
thinking.
For example, we have bought these for the Afghans.

Then there was the Mig-25 that had one main purpose. However, we, using our biases,
thought was something else. We of course made the F-15 to counter it. Being a phormer
phantom phixer, I like air craft that have engines that could make a brick fly. Think
J79.
The Russian a/c was a single mode for the most part a/c but the F15 had to do everything
and do it well. That is why American warfighting tools are so darn expensive.
F15 seems to be a very successful airplane, as far as I can tell. So
is Mi-17 helicopter.
The F-16 beats them all. It's been in continuous production since 1974
with more made than any other jet.
More than the Mig-21? You might want to check again? And in what way
does it "beat them all"?
