It is possibly the finest production rifle I have ever shot. Truly beautiful and accurate like all get out. The wood on the one I shot was about the best I have seen. Smooth action. I prefer the classic wood stocked one. If you are going to get a fine European gun, why would you not go classic? I have seen the regular one at around 1200-1500 bucks but thye classic deluxe is over $3K. Go to outdoorlife.com and look up gear reviews under rifles. The deluxe won editors choice in the year it came out.
