Yes, a nice wood stock. My thoughts exactly.

This Bergara rifle and the new T/C rifle do look similar in some ways, imo.

the tc stock is super ugly at the butt area. Looks like the tc barrel just screws on and unscrews like a normal barrel would. Im really interested in seeing how the Bergara barrel locks up, thats my main deal with wanting one. If it does good on the centerfire barrels, i honestly think they will move it onto the muzzleloader line.

Have they announced a price-range for this rifle yet? I'm wondering about cost.

I haven't seen anything about the price yet.

Those ergonomic synthetic stocks are popular, take a look at the mossberg 4x4,remington model same style. i like synthetic stocks, but not the new ergonomic ones.
