Been single for almost 18 years, that grants me much latitude with funds. Mind if I live vicariously through your posts? Lol!

If I remember right a couple of years or so ago, Steelhead had something like 14-15 stocks in various stages on order with McM all at the same time.............so he's got a few. LOL.

I also would pick the KS pattern out of all their offerings. It's close to a MR but with the more open slim grip. Just about perfect in my opinion.

I like the KS, I do not like a cheekpiece.
I can't figure out which one to go with......

I can't figure out which one to go with...... The KS is far & away my favorite pattern anywhere, but if you don't like the cheekpiece, then the Compact Classic Edge is very close, just a little shorter in the forend as I show in my pics & it is checkered, whereas the KS is sans checkering. Not sure if you can get the Compact Classic edge w/o the checkering.......maybe Steelhead might know? MM

Of course you can get it without checkering. Want me to guess the weight on that.........

My last question.
How much difference is the standard fill Compact Vs. the EDGE Compact ?
And is it worth the extra $80 ?

Yes, and I don't know. I've not weighed one without everything attached.

And is it worth the extra $80 ? The Compact Classic Edge in the pic I put up is 21.5 oz with the 1/2" Declelerator; typical standard fill is around 32 oz, give or take, depending on the pattern. Whether it's worth it or not is up to you & how you expect to use it. For me, I don't like heavy. MM

I did just weigh a Remington Classic Swirl, light fill with 1" pad, 29 ounces.
So, a Compact swirl should weigh less, all things being equal.

Well, with the money you've spent with them, can't begrudge you a little special consideration.
