I've been doing some more research on these today. I went out to a few local shops and couldn't find even one.

Online, it seems there's about a $1,200 range on various models. I can see why the Scout model is desirable with its 18" barrel. It's sort of a middle ground area. However, the Loaded and National Match versions also look quite enticing. They all look good, so I'll keep saving and we'll see how long I can hold out and how much I have when I don't want to wait any longer. I figure one will present itself to me wen the time is right. That's how I've come across several of the other things I've acquired.

What stock do you have on yours?

EDIT: Oops, don't those only come with walnut stocks? And the only difference is stainless or carbon barrels?

Never BAD to want another gun!

Your choice, perhaps.
