I got tired of the red, IMO brown looks better.
I traded for it, already wearing that paint, But, the factory dull birch stock was so ugly the red looked pretty good. The guy at a gun show had this one, his personal gun, had several new in the box. After looking at them I took this one. He had also tweaked the trigger. It was pretty good, the Timney is better.
I also glass bedded and free floated it.
That long barrel is a hoot, for sure. It has heavy, military type sights. I removed the rear sight assembly to clear the scope.
It balances pretty well, is definitely a shooter.
