I am basically stapped with the same ML rules you are... and if you a looking for a great Pacific Northwest Legal ML - the gun that UC is showing you is the one. I own and shoot a White M97 U-mag and they are outstanding guns. They will shoot sabots and they will shoot conicals.

While they are no longer available and parts are tight I would tell not to get to hung up on that, the guns are pretty much indestructable and there are enough people around that what parts you might need can be had.

If you were to decide on this I have a set of sights for it or aftermarket sights are available for it.

The only thing I am not sure of in your rules can you hunt with a 45 caliber? We have a .428 rule over here in Idaho - which would still be OK with this gun only you would have to shoot a full bore 'slip fit' concical.

Since Washington changes there ML rule this year that you can now shoot a sabot with a copper jacket bullet there may be a size restriction. Also remember Washington did consider but rejected the 'lead ban' this year might that make a difference in the future...
