Nope, sure have not. I kind of like the wood inlay on the receiver, but I've never like the shiny Browning finish. Good luck finding one.

I've never seen one of those, but I'd love to have on. It looks beautiful.

With aMSRP of $1300, I'd hope selling price would be lower than what the Able Ammo link showed. I'd have mine at cost so closer to $900-$1000 anyways.
Never been big on Browning's glossy finishes either but this one appears more of a matte finish which I like. Not something I;d brush bang with but not one I'd I'd tuck away as a safe queen either being scared to have it see the outdoors.

I don't really like the matte finish and I really like the glossy Browning finish. I guess I'm the oddball here. So I hope this one comes in gloss.

No sale here. Looks like a cross between a rifle and a high grade skeet/trap gun. Those guns belong at the range.

If I own a rifle, it goes to the woods 100 times more than it goes to the range.

1) Some, like myself, like sights unlike some that don't and probably can't function with them.
2) Don't like synthetic (classless) or the look of the other BAR's. In general, I don't like semi-autos anyways. Make one shot count not get the lead downrange.
3) It's not about going to "kill somth'n".
4) Not really wanting one for field use but rather just to have another nice looking rifle.

youre not going to put a scope on it? sights are for shot guns, rifles are for shooting farther than 50yds and sights just dont cut it.

The short track is a sweet little gun, id love to have one in 308, for stalking swamps and ridges, personally I think the ugliest thing is a pretty blued/wood gun w/ blood, mud and dings on it, If I wanted to collect pretty stuff Id buy more guitars. guns are tools, not toys, tools should be up to some rough outdoor use.
