Thanks for the all the replies. MD, I just located the Jan/Feb issue of Sports Afield. I take it you were favorably impressed enough to keep it at that price point..

I had read an earlier review by someone else which suggested that the stock might need to be pillar bedded if the gun was to be used as a hunter and not just shot off a bench, That was the original basis of my questions.

Do you believe the stock will work as is for field shooting using various rests?
