I traded into mine (in .308). The sucker will put them in the same hole and is fun to shoot. Caliber change is not complicated. As to laying out the cash, ...... mine's worth about $3,500 (minus scope) and except for the straight pull bolt and it's neat appearance (get a lot of comments at the range) I have a Remington PSS and a Browning that shoot just as well. If you get a GOOD deal or aren't worried about the $$$$ buy it. If that's not the case, you can do as well with a much cheaper rifle.
