I have a blued version with the 24" barrel. Really enjoy it and shoots very comfortably. Not a big fan of the Hogue stock either but just haven't settled on a replacement so it has stayed in the Hogue.

Have given some thought to picking up an identical rifle (or barreled action) and having it re-bored and re-chambered to 416 Ruger. Would make a nice hunt-the-world tandem, IMO.


I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.
