I've wanted one ever since this version was introduced. Only trouble is I've never seen one at a LGS or gun show around here to see and handle. I've struggled greatly to resist the temptation of blindly ordering one. Something about nine rounds of 45-70 just lights my fire.
Well, today the local Sportsman's Warehouse had one on the rack. I looked it over and love every inch of it except for a rack ding on the top rear of the stock. Felt like a wonderful rifle and seems to fit me well. It will be a week before I have the funds to purchase it, but when I can I'll return and hope it is still there. Not sure if Sportman's Warehouse will reduce the price due to the minor damage. If they will offer me a deal I'll almost certainly pick it up, if not, I've now seen enough to feel comfortable ordering one.
In the meantime, I have a week to solicit opinions and would greatly appreciate any input from those who have had the opportunity to shoot one.
