i brought one in 223 from Bass Pro a couple of years ago on sale for $329. The bluing is real deep and the laminate stock is really nice. Fit and finish are excellent. Finding the scope mounts was the hardest part. Now the trigger from the factory (at least on mine) is as nice as the Timney that I put into my old Mauser 98. Nice and crisp with about a 4 pound pull. I should have brought two at the time, the 223 I got and one in 7.62x39, but I couldn't get two past the wife at the sametime.
Yup, wish I had bought more when cheap
