If they'd reduce the price about $400.00 I might take a look.

I handled the first one I have seen yesterday afternoon.  It was a featherweight in .30-06.  The only appearance difference I could notice from previous offerings was that the metal finish was less polished.  Bolt function was smooth, and quality of wood was surprisingly good.  Also, it had a nice thick Decelerator type pad on the butt.  This shop had it priced at $748. 

All in all, it appears to be a nice piece!

$748 is more like it. I'll definitely take one in 325 WSM if I can find one at that price.
