There is a difference between a good price and a good value.

Is it a good price?  For a Charlie Sisk rifle - yes.  Not a great price, but a good reasonable price.

Is it a good value? This is a more difficult question to answer.  This is a custom gun.  Custom guns average about $2,000.  Some more, some less, but the average is about 2 grand.  As such, it is an average value compared to others in its league.

On the other hand, compared to certain factory rifles, it cannot really be deemed a good value.  Keep in mind that value is almost as much a subjective thing as it is objective.  You can get a Remington BDL that will cost 1/4 the price and perhaps shoot just as good.  Even if it doesn't, the Remington's accuracy will still be very acceptable, especially at $500.  You could also get a Sako for about $1,000.  Sakos have better resale values than Remington, and are better made, but they also will shoot about the same.  Accordingly, all said, I wouldn't say that the Sisk rifle is necessarily a better value.
