I've seen a couple of them, and have seen that there seems to be some interest, as many others pick them up too. They are a bit heavier than the guide gun, but seem to handle well. I'm still on the fence about whether I like the standard guide gun, or these best. They both have really good features.

I held one today at a gun show and really like it!  The tag was $799 so I walked away from it but when I got home I looked on the auction sites and only saw one for $925 so I guess it was a good price at the show.

Well BKS, I wouldn't have a clue about the wait time, but it sure looks like a nifty rifle that would be well worth waiting for. Sorry, I know that didn't help much, but it's the way I feel. ;)

 I appreciate the reply anyway. Im as impatient as they come, but I guess I'll just have to wait for it.
