It's essentially a NULA marked down 65%. Hard not to love that, unless you really, really want some custom options that Forbes doesn't offer.
When Forbes starts cranking out all stainless rifles, I predict a lot of Montanas in the classifieds. Just a guess, though... Forbes is an M700 action, in SS with a chromoly bolt and 21" barrel... for those of us that like an actual SS rifle, longer barrel, 3-pos safety at $300 less.. I doubt it. Almost all gun manufactures use a chrome moly bolt in their SS actions because of galling.
Its all right to be white!!

My Forbes 24B 30-06 trigger was 4.5 lbs but it took only a few seconds to adjust the "Timney" trigger to just less than 3 lbs. I have had many rifles in stainless and actually prefer the finish on the Forbes.

Really, this Forbes 24B is 5 plus pounds on my scale and 6 pounds 5 oz with a 11 oz scope and talley rings on it....you must have gotten and extra light Forbes?

It is.

That's news to me, though Remington I believe does. Ruger, Winchester and Kimber definitely don't.

I think he's referring to the trigger pull weight, not the weight of the rifle...
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
