They have about 20 in stock, and all could walk out the door this weekend, as they are expecting THOUSANDS of people to come to this sale.

I know because I ordered one from them right before the sale and they shipped it up here.  It was great because when it gets down to 20 guns (from the original 500 they special ordered from Remington), you can really ask them to look through their stock and pull out the best looking wood, and that's what you'll get.  Mine is the best looking factory stocked rifle I've ever owned.

Now I can have the pleasure of walking confidently in the Alaskan bush with -- assuming proper reloads and a 10-round after-market blued-steel magazine -- about the most firepower one can deliver reliably to any  aggressive, well-protected mammalian target.  Hah!  (I don't ever expect to have a run-in with Brownie, but I'm prepared just in case; and with this gun firing solids to follow a very accurately placed first shot, even Bullwinkle does not stand even the slightest chance of escaping into the alders  :shock:  and having me have to go in there and fill my pants  :eek:  trying to finish the job.)   :grin:
