Success!.. second times the charm apparently... received the new 457 American 22 WMR last Thursday... wood looks real decent, curved grain in the rear with some attractive character marks & color variations, some tiger stripe in the grip area, and straight grain on the fore end... early observations, barrel is not centered in the channel, wood grain is not filled, trigger has a bit of creep but otherwise felt good... all easy to fix/adjust... getting serious shopping for glass & mounts... too many choices!!!
