Driftrider - I went to BPS yesterday and they actually had one of the CDL SF in stock 30-06. It really is a beautiful gun that might have swayed my decision of going with a blued barrel. The hit the color of that stock spot on, fit to finish it looks fantastic.
Yes, they are pretty. The fluted barrel really sets it off. You won't go wrong with that rifle. Just have them order one in 7mm-08 Rem, slap some decent glass on it, and you'll have yourself a deer's worst nightmare.
Here's my baby. I got this rifle last March as my "legacy rifle" (meaning I plan to give it to one of my kids, but not until I'm stone cold dead
). The only thing it doesn't have is a fluted barrel, but that will be corrected someday after I rebarrel it after burning the factory barrel out!
It's a Remington Model 700 LSS Limited Edition in 257 Weatherby Mag wearing a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x50mm Side Focus w/Mil-Dot reticle:
The scope it probably too big for the application with the 50mm objective, but for the deal I got, I'll live with it. I can see 25cal shot holes at 200 yards at legal sunset with it. It's one awesome piece of glass.
I love this rifle.
