I have had 3 and still own 2. I really do not think you can buy a better factory rifle. The ones I currently own are in 308 and 280. Sold a 7mm a/c just did not need that big of a caliber for what I do. My 308 will shoot 3/4" all day long with multiple loads. The 280 will consistently shoot dime size groups and once it even did a 1 holer with 3 @ 100.

The S.S with Laminated stock should be a real beauty!!! I am not really a short mag guy but have no problems with them. I cannot believe you will not love that rifle.
