I tried the 34 before I purchased my LX. I did find that the grip was a little thinner than I liked. It is also mostly mettal and in WI we do a lot of late season hunting in the sub 20 temps. Otherwise it shot VERY well and it compared to the Legacy in most aspects. for $100 less also.

In the end I chose the LX for the grip, speed, smoothness, and yes the name. I know that if I chose to sell my LX I would get top dollar for it. If I tried to sell the AR???? just don' t know yet.
