Yes I got it from him. He had it advertised for a short time and I managed to jump on it as I have been looking for one since Sprortsmans sold them. I was tied up in something else when all that happened and when I finally woke up they were all gone. It is laminated. Personally since I want it for hunting I would prefer the synthetic stock and have offered to trade anyone but seems that nobody wants to do that. I also just bought the KRB7 with synthetic stock. Have not had time to shoot it yet. As soon as the scope gets here for the U-Mag I plan to take them both out at the same time and do some heavy conical shooting as I only hunt elk. Deer in Arizona are few and far between and I am basically a meat hunter. Elk is a lot better eating than Mule Deer. I need to extend my shooting ability. I have been limiting my shots to 100 yards but the last time I got drawn I had to pass up elk at 140 yards ranged as I had not shot that far enough to be confident. Not going to let that happen again!!! I think both the U-Mag and the KRB should be able to do 150 yards with a good scope and some practice. Personally I think 200 yards is too far to shoot at animals with my abilities but I think I can do 150. I know some do 200 but not me.
