Jim, I am looking forward to getting this rifle in My hands, I have seen this model in pics but never in person and I agree, it does look really nice, I think the rifle's advertised weight was somewhere in the mid 5 lbs range, 5lbs 6 ozs maybe, this does seem a little light for a laminated stock rifle though, I will find out for sure in a few more days.................Hillbilly.
I had though about buying one two years ago, and then they all sort of disappeared. I think they were tough for dealers to move since they ran about $200 more than most of the walnut stocked versions were selling for at the time. I have never seen one listed for lest than $700.
As much as I like the look of the Stainless /grey laminate, since then, the Synthetic version with their sculpted Stock lines and spare magazine trap in the butt etc, have sort of grown on me.
