Landrum,

Looked at em again yesterday at LGS where I once worked. Again I believe they are well put together.

And I gotta admit, I kinda got a bit of a tingle to one of the rifle versions in 25/35!

I really can ignore tang safety.

Only thing is at $1400 one can almost find a decent original shooter. For just a little more a nice old rifle can be had.

Good luck!

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
