Probably no more than an '09 in similar condition with good wood. I bought mine on closeout in 2011 because the dealer couldn't move it. I suspect it was because of the chintzy gold writing on the magazine floor plate. When Cabela's had a special run made a couple of years ago, they ended up lowering the price, probably for the same reason.
The gold looks particularly bad when it starts to buff off from use.
For a few people maybe, but not that much of a deal breaker for most I would suspect as they did sell out. If you see one now for sale they generally go fairly fast and for a somewhat close to retail price if new. Ones that lingered on the rack were plain jane's as far as wood.
I have several of the Cabelas Ltd. Super Grade Editions and the ones I was able to pick up have stocks that are for lack of a better word, are just incredible. They too are early FN built and assembled in South Carolina and are very nice rifles.
