It's more than interesting; it is a GREAT cartridge; giving 450-400 ballistics out of a 30-06 case.
And you can't possibly put one together for this price now.

What is the LOP? and what do you estimate the weight of the rifle?

I'll answer by saying it's a Boyds stock and their standard LOP is 13.75.
Weight, probably 7.75 pounds, but LnB can answer that one.

My scale has the weight at 8 pounds 6 ounces, though it feels lighter because it balances well.
