That's a nice looking rifle. I just have a bad taste in my mouth regarding Traditions. Has their quality improved over the past 7 or so years? I had purchased a sidelock back about that time and after the first shot the front fiber optic shattered. A couple shots later adjusting the rear sight and snugging up the screw, the cheap plastic sight cracked! I was about ready to throw the darn thing over the bank into a stripping pit.
