After 3 days with no reply, I guess the answer is "No".
Too bad, as I've been tempted to buy one of their $699 .22s from time to time. I had a 14" Contender match and it was too big and not all special accuracy-wise.
What fresh Hell is this?

I had a 97 rifle built for my son before he was born - engraved with his name on the barrel. In 6.5 BRM. It is VERY accurate and quiet flexable in the 6.5 chambering. I loaded plinking loads with light cast bullets that had no recoil when my son was learning. 100gr partitions/120gr Bt/120 x bullets as he matured. Did I mention that it is UGLY? It can't be stored in the same safe with #1s or high-walls . It is very special to me but its hard to get past its looks. If I had to do over, I would have chambered a low wall in 250 Savage and went from there!

I have a (very) early 97D rifle, and think very highly of it. Fun to shoot, very, very accurate, and I kind of like the looks.
