Why do they call it the "LR" because it now has a 28" Barrel? then I'm guessing it has the Quick Release Breech Plug also. But do they now come with the Bergara Barrel? If so then the Price is ok. If he likes it then it's a good deal, there are those who don't like CVA and those who do, I am one who does and that's why when I bought my first ACCURA back in 2005 I bought another that I still have New in the Box. I'll probably never use it at the rate I'm going as the first one is still as new as can be mechanically and just a few wear spots on the camo stock from where I hold onto it. She's a Shooter and I Love her. I'm sure the Optima is just as good, but I Prefer the Bergara Barrels in Stainless.
