I hope you have already found one. They are no longer made and prices went through the roof.

Yes i have one and cleaning is a snap with smokeless loads. You basically only need to keep the flash channel clear and replace vent liners as needed. Then clean it like/when you would clean a centerfire.

They are quite heavy with the laminate stocks. The Tupperware stocks are terrible quality by comparison but lighter.

Recoil inst too bad with book powder loads and 250gr bullets but a 300gr+ starts to get brisk with some powders.

IMO the best thing about them is you can convert them to a 45cal smokeless with 1 tool, some $$$ and a little knowledge. Then they are super flat shooters and usually more accurate.

Better hurry if you want one. I see them selling for over $900 these days for a SS/Laminate and a good $650 for Blued/Black.
