I bought one for $255. It was available at 2 other gun stores for $265 and $285. All in Anchorage, AK. I like the ability to recock the hammer without breaking the action. However, it took some skin off of my trigger finger after a dozen shots with a 30-30 barrel. The point where the finger wraps around the corner of the frame when it is in the trigger guard. I guess it is due to the longer reach as a result of the new angle of the handle. Looking for a pair of gloves...
