I judt did a little looking and the price is pretty much in the ballpark. A shop an hour away lists one for $725 in .270. Most prices on line are a little over $700, but there are one or two places at $684 and one guy showing $588 (!) but I never heard of them. Bud's is over $700. Gander Mountain is over $800.

It's good to know the rings are included, like a Ruger. This caliber uses a hinged floorplate instead of a removable mag. I think that is a nice plus as it gives cleaner lines to the gun.

I might be in trouble here. There is a show in Cleveland this weekend that I was considering going to. It's 75 miles one way, though it's a pretty big show. Time to do some pondering.

Any further advice from the rest of you guys is highly welcome. Should I be looking to acquire this or spend my money on that .300 blackout AR upper I'm messing with? If I get this I'll still finish the upper, but it might be a little longer in the doing. If I don't get this it might be a long time looking for one at a better price. Hmmmmm.
