I was at my favorite country gunstore yesterday and purchased one of these in 300 WSM, complete with Kimber scope bases and several varieties of factory ammo to start the ball rolling with. This is a nice looking, seemingly well-made factory rifle that should be fun to work with. I was really impressed with the quality of the stock, action ("C" ring Mauser!), balance, over-all concept, fit, and finish. I love the classy, unobtrusive scope bases as well!
Man, do I hope it shoots.............
The dealer I bought it from wasn't too excited about the threaded bolt handle attachment method, but my feeling is that I'd rather have a threaded bolt handle that stays on, rather than a brazed handle that might pop off.
Somehow, I'll have to find or make a bore guide that fits this receiver, because all of mine are too large. Perhaps I can get a smaller diameter sleeve from Stoney Point that will work.
So who has worked with one of these rifles so far?
