I’m also a fan of a simple Winchester style round classic knob.

I’ve used this guy. Quick and reasonable $.

The Polished Knob

Gotta be pretty brave to click on a link titled “polished knob” 😂😂

A Tikka in .308 for 850, or a Mesa for 1500,

That 700 dollar difference will buy a nice scope for the Tikka should I go that route.

The 2 main detractors, the Cerracote and then the ergos of the grip, I much prefer more vertical in the grip, and trust me, I’ve thrown more money at stocks than a reasonable person should have, When I don’t like a stock, that rifle don’t stick around too long……

Did score some primers though at a decent price, so there is that!

Appreciate you all.

Mesa has a stainless barrel FWIW

Initial barrel break in today, and so far I’m really liking this rifle.
