Agree on the design, but I honestly never saw what made them worth such a premium over a Ruger Hawkeye.
They had the Model 70-style trigger and, until Ruger began offering short action 77 Hawkeyes in left-handed, they were about the only game in town for a "reasonably priced" left-handed short action CRF action/rifle.
They were better at supplying gunsmith-ready actions than they were at making rifles.
