Hey Ex, I just bought one of these a couple of weeks ago in 270WSM off gunbroker for $1100 from Northern FA. No problems with them at all and everything is as described. It's a nice gun and weighs so much less than my 1970 700BDL. The trigger is descent but nothing to brag about. Everything looks top-notch though I haven't put any rings or glass on it yet. We'll see how hard it kicks. The stock is kind of rubber coated which they call "dura-touch". I'd say it's more sticky than checkering which I guess makes it better if not as pretty.
I've learned a few things from your postings and enjoyed reading/viewing your hunting trips so I thought I'd try to return the favor.
