If someone is charging 8-10K for a fiberglass (or carbon fiber) stocked Winchester or Remington, the fellow that sold it to him "saw him coming". I think that the short answer is that some fellows run with a group that has more money than common sense, that are more interested in the status that a high price brings (within that group) than knowing what the value of what they are buying is, or any of the finer technical points that distinguish one rifle's quality from another. On the other hand, if they can afford it, and they are happy...
I have told friends what to to buy, and who to have do the work for a pair of high end hunting rifles. If they don't know anything except how to pull the trigger, and write the check, it would have been easy for them to have been lead astray. (Stiller action, Kreiger barrel, Jewel trigger, custom reamer, .270 WSM, Swarovski scope and mounts, on Picatinny rail, 3 under 1/2 w/ hunting bullets)
