Thanks for the info. I'll look into that article. Price is about as low as it's going to be. It'll sit in the back of the safe and the kids can use it one day.

This barrel has less than 20 rounds in it. The Teflon coat is a dark reddish brown color.

Originally purchased it new in '98 as a .338 wm shot that barrel out and finally replaced it with this one. Original trigger. Original stock was a black synthetic Winchester stock.

Weight as it sits in this stock with the leupold scope on it is 8 lb 15 oz.

Enjoy your snow!
