RE: Lower Priced ML's
I would go and buy the Winchester Apex at Cabela's on sale for about the same price as that NEF or Wolf. They're both great guns but the Apex has all of the great upgrades. I bought one in stainless/black for 200 bucks and am sure I'll be perfectly satisfied once it arrives. I always said I'd get a T/C or Knight but I honestly like the Winchester better and think I got the best deal.
By the way, I'd get the NEF over the Wolf in a heartbeat if I was you. I think it's a much better gun for the money. That's my 2 cents worth.
