Damn!
I'm gonna have to pass on this one.
The stock dimensions are all wrong for me.

Mike SmithMike, I think you pretty much answered your own question!

patrkyhntrI draw the line at buying a rifle that costs so much you would be afraid to use it. In my earlier days, I was a mechanic of sorts. I bought the best tools for whatever job I was doing. I don't think I ever bought a screwdriver with gold inlays, however. I would rather spend that $395,000 going on hunts, and take a Winchester, than for a beautiful gun like that one. Just my opinion.
