Anybody seen the new ones? I looked at a new one yesterday and I have to say I was impressed, compared to one I bought five or six years ago. The wood now has a dark walnut stain that makes it look like actual walnut instead of Brazilian mystery wood. The bluing looked better. And the action was much smoother and it felt like they quit using an ejector spring designed for and by 800 pound gorillas.

My old Rossi is a good rifle that slicked up pretty easily with just a little work, but this one looked as good as anything any American company has put out in a long time on the rack.

Anybody else seen this or was I just looking at a particularly excellent example?
