The ones I had my hands on were in the $360 range. They looked pretty good. You can get a catalogue from the website.

Was hoping to see calibers 6.5X55,260 Rem or 7mm/08 Rem. Even a 25/06 would be nice.
But it does sound as if this is a good price for the calibers now available. Good luck. POW

I have one in 22-250. It shoots pretty good though I have yet to find the magic load. It came standard with an eight pound trigger I had a gunsmith reduce it to 3 pounds. But because of the design (one spring does all) the trigger just flopped around without any tension prior to engagement, so the 'smith put a spring in there to hold it steady. Unfortunately he (had to?) remove the automatic safety and cocking indicator. Now if you slam the gun shut without remembering to set the safety youself the gun WILL go off. I'm going to address this with him.
