No, I did not buy it. Perpetually short of gun money!
It was very tempting though.
I was wrong about that rifle though, it is the Liberty, not the Patriot.....not even sure if they make a Patriot.
Dont know why I made that mistake.
Anyway, it was at Bing and Bob's sporting goods in Havre, Montana.
They had a very lightly used 6.5x300 WBY there too for 1400 I believe.
That was a nice rifle too.
I am MAGA.

The Liberty is the Patriot. Nosler originally called the model the Patriot, but then decided it might be confused with other rifles with a similar name, so changed their name to Liberty. But neither name was stamped on the rifle or barrel.
Which is why the 26 I purchased as a Patriot is now a Liberty.

Ahhhhh......I see.
I got home and looked the rifle up and did not see a Patriot, so I figured I was wrong.
Both the Nosler and the Weatherby were nice rifles.
Of the two I think I preferred the Weatherby, probably just because the barrel was a bit heavier.
Could not find a single thing wrong with the Nosler though, except for maybe the extra angles cut into the top of the receiver. A seriously small nit to pick however!

Same opinion here. Can't like those square cuts or whatever you call 'em. Reminds me of an A-Bolt!  Still wouldn't stop me from a M48 in 26 if I was in the market, however.
