Well I have mixed feelings on the pricing, they need to ship these with a better synthetic stock not that the factory stock is bad but the stock should be hand laid up fiberglass. First of all 1600 is high for one. I saw one in the 1350+ range in 300 wsm . One dealer Iknow has an 85 SS in 270 for 1099 on closeout. As far as the rifle mechanically it is as solid a rifle as is sold these days.
