I paid $379 for a Romanian civilian AK in 2003 (a 2002 model SAR-1) so $389.95 isn't far off that. Stripped AR lowers (just the shell of the lower receiver) have been about that same price since the late 1990's as well.

Since we are talking about the most popular civilian target rifles in the United States, calling them "sporting rifles" is fair, even though I personally dislike the term "sporting" because of its close association with the term "sportsman" (a term I despise). They're just rifles. Small- and intermediate-caliber, non-automatic civilian rifles with modern styling.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic here. Just out of curiosity, how would you think rifle murders in the USA compare to, say, murders using shoes and bare hands? Knives? Baseball bats and other blunt objects?

I'm wondering how closely your perceptions match reality.
