Makes me wonder why they would use a PD action instead of an WR 1897. The 1897 is a far superior action.

If it is $5,000.00 or less, I would be interested in purchasing it.

Anybody know what the retail price is?

It is not a 5,000$ rifle that is for sure. Well north of 20K I would say.

I would suspect it would be $5000.00 down and several more $5000.00 payments! Beautiful!
