Hi folks new here, saw this thread and had to add. I myself am waiting to pickup my M 48 Sporter and should have it next week in 270 WSM. I have held and work the action on this fine piece as I have also shot both of my brother inlaws (270 WSM & 300 WSM) dead on at 100- 3 shot group with all holes touching and 200 at at 1" or a hair over. I had been looking at the Kimber but when I handled and shot this I was sold. Is it to much $? I think not as I intend on having this for life!!
The action is the exact same as their 48 custom 1st, 2nd and 3rd edition-double-square bridge proprietary design,rifle offers exceptional mechanical precision and modern performance. The action features the unmistakably classic lines offered by a Ted Blackburn one-piece bottom metal/trigger guard. To maximize accuracy, the new NoslerCustom action is mated to a hand-lapped, 24-inch match grade stainless steel Wiseman barrel.

I looked at this as a usuble investment and for the money I don't think there is an equal. Also comes with a personal letter of authenticity that guarantees a 3/4-inch, 3-shot group accuracy—or your money back! All this and a rock solid Kevlar stock
You can see these guns at many Cabela stores
