Buttstock- thanks for that link, I'll print that out for Dad- he'll enjoy the reading on the 35 Rem.

I had called Grice earlier this year, nothing there for the 35 Carbine. I kept an eye on the Pennsylvania Hunting forums too (along with several other sites) since they seem to be central concentration of Rem 7600's and Grice.

Having Dad get a shiny new rifle like this give him lots to look forward to in the upcoming months besides a long winter. Figuring out which mounts and scope, sighting it in, and then counting down the next 47 weeks until the next deer season!

I think his birthday will bring a Leup VX3 1.5-5x with Post & Duplex installed, and then for Father's Day a set of Talley LW's.
