I have a friend that has one with the wood stock, which is a really nice hunk of wood. It shoots as well as any thing I have ever seen at the range or any place else.
He bought the 209 kit for it, the Canadian version which he has told me time and again he wished he wouldn't have wasted the money on since the # 11caps worked well in it.
They came out about the time the Remington 700 ML came out but didn't last on the market as long.
I figure the price, cleaning time and effort were a big reason they didn't last long just like the Remingtons.
