Had one - sold it. Handled and shot pretty good, but is noticeably heavier than the T3 I replaced it with.
Had the LA version as well, in 280 Rem. Sold it, too....
Still have a 595 wood stocked walking varminter in 22-250. Shoots great.
The 595/695 series rifles are wonderful quality - the bolt action is smoother than most any other standard rifle you will run across.
I'd suggest handling it a bit before you plunk down the cash for it. If you can get past the weight, they are a nice rifle.
