Got an email from Numrich about it the other day and thought for a brief minute that Hornady was going in the rifle business. They do state for the record very emphatically though that this is a one off and will not go into production.

Have to say I don't care for the square corner on the raised cheek piece. Or the grooves. Or the stock in general. Yuck.

not my style but has some nice wood and engraving. i would find zero use for a gun like that. but then again, i would rather spend that kind of money on a truck.

It looks like the money is a fundraiser for a good hunting/shooting cause.

Other than that, the thing is an atrocity. Is it built on a Howa action or what?

Damn. Talk about a let down.

It looks like a Weatherby for the 21st century. Gitcha some inlays and spacers, it'd be complete.

An embarrassment. The stock needs a few hours with my friends rasp and sandpaper. Action looks pretty Howa to me.

Wow. Terribly ugly thing that started as a beautiful piece of wood. I would take that stock off and bed the rifle in a yellow/orange/black McSwirly. whistle
