The one I looked at was very nice..considering the action and the stock your getting it is well worth the money. Look at it this way it is 200-300 less then a Remington Custom Shop KS and better made, the stock for sure is better then anything a KS will have on it. I have owned 3 KS's and can tell you they are severely overpriced. Only bad I see is lightweight, when I get even older I would like one but for now will trudge around with a heavier rifle because they hold steadier after climbing up and down hills.
