I found that exact same pic on these guys website. A gun maker in texas makes them as well.

After looking at them I would love to have one as well but I can't see dropping $5,000 for one.

That's where I'm buying mine from. All in all, it is a lot of $ for a rifle. The ones being made in Germany by SSD are being sold for $7,000 - $10,000, depending on the Type you buy. They will never come across the pond to the USA for sale. The ones being manufactured here may only be made in limited quantities which, over time, will make them more valuable - that's almost always the case. Case on point: He auctioned a few off from the first batch he finished to recoup some quick $. The first one he auctioned sold for around $5300 - the second one he auctioned sold for around $7500. Hype sale? - yep. But who knows? If he stops making them at one point, they will only go up IMO.
