I've read about them in magazines and this past weekend I held one at Cabelas. It is a beautiful rifle. The wood was amazing the action was silky smooth. It had a three position safety and nice recoil pad. The trigger was perfect for a hunting gun. The stock was probably the nicest thing about the rifle. It was oversized and had a generous palm swell. The checkering was excellent. The swirls in the wood were job dropping.

A couple of things I was surprised about. For a gun in that price range I would have thought the bolt throw would have been less and I was surprised to see that it was a push feed and not a control feed. Also this rilfe came outiftted with a Leupold with a ballistics retical that was matched to the gun (300 wsm). The scope was a very low magnification scope with only a 33 mm bell. I was really surprised by that.

Why would you put a low magnification scope with a small bell on a 300 wsm? Doesn't make sense to me. So even though the scope was stamped custom with the serial number of the rifle I see it as a throw away.

It was priced at $4k.

Anybody else see/hold one of these? Any thoughts on them?
