Beautiful rifle, Sakohunter, but I would say that, as my 250AI is about the same, and all sourced here on the 'fire. The M70 compact Classic came from PA., the Pac-nor 9 twist stainless barrel form Georgia, the VXIII 2.5-8 from Alaska, and the dies and 100 new brass from Colorado. Added some Cerakote and a 1/2" Pachmayer pad and it is a lovely rifle to view, carry, and shoot. Enjoy it!
