I got mine and am going to keep it, I assume others feel the same about theirs.

You cannot get a rifle with all the features the Talkeetna has, 4 round mag, barrel band, good stock, good sights, 3 position safety, stainless finish, for anywhere near the money that a Talkeenta costs. You also cannot build one cheaper, I build a Winchester 70 classic stainless with a Mcmillan stock, express sights and barrel band and have more in it than I paid for the Talkeetna.
