Anyone have one? Thoughts and opinions please. I just got a new CDNN catalog in the mail today and they always call my name. I know I could probably get a Remington SPS Tactical or a Savage a little cheaper, but I sort of like to be a bit different from the crowd.
 
I have one as well Xp 20" fluted bought mine off CDNN back in May couldn't be happier. Heres my best target so far 100yd using 168g SMKs

I *love* mine. I have the 20" fluted XP version as well. I would recommend getting one without the box magazine. I find the box magazine to be another point of failure in the future. But it's very accurate and stout. The floated barrel is very nice. The trigger is fine for me.
 
Another thing to keep in mind is that the price on these things have really come down a lot. I got mine before CDNN had their special and I paid 1100$, I think. I wish I had waited until they were discontinued and the price came down. But I think these are a steal at what they are selling for now. I understand they are discontinued so the supply of these won't last forever.
 
This gun is a steal at the price from CDNN. I also have the fluted XP and it shoots bugholes. If you don;t like the Winchester M70 type trigger, and aftermarket trigger for the M70 drops in. I have a Jewell in mine.

The 308 with hinged floorplate and 20" fluted barrel is the one I have in mind. It is $700 + shipping and transfer fee. The detachable mag version Is $100 less, but a spare mag is $50.
 
One other question. What about weight? They show them at 9.3 lbs. I could see the 24" heavy barrrel weighing that much, but the 20" fluted barrel looks like it would be a little less.
 
I wondered about the weight thing too. I have the 20 version and it seems to weigh all of that. I haven't weighed it but with scope and bipod I'm sure its 10 - 11 pounds.
