What do you know, it has got white line spacers!
Do those cost xtry?
And a trigger and iron sights and shiny stuff on the wood too!
And checkered lines in the grip areas and...
I like them, but I like the looks of the matte finished stocks as well. I don't look at them that much in the field, though.
Like that $5000 extra for engraving on a fine scattergun, I don't think it makes it shoot a whole lot better or worse...some folks say the white line stuff is too much, but I don't think that much of it one way or the other.
Seriously, the BDL's I have were bargains, left handed and brand new. I didn't care about the spacers or model name. And like my ex-wife and a pair of shoes on sale, nothing was gonna stop that transaction!
And the 700 is a solid platform, got a decent trigger that can be adjusted or is easily replaced if you prefer. Easy to put a wide selection of mounts on...it's just easy.
