Well, went to the local Gander and saw a 28" Winchester Super X2 Sporting (with the ugly red stock) on super sale. It was labeled $699 (and have saw it there for at least a year), and it was on sale at $449 - I assume because of that red Duratouch stock. Couldn't pass it up! They found another in back in the box, never opened with all shims, chokes, etc. My Citori XT is going to be jealous!
