    Are these really the ducks nuts ? , the soft coating on stock seems to rub off which seems like a design floor , is this easily fixed or do you just live with it ?

    It depends what you are after. I had one in rem mag. Beautiful rifle that shot no doubt . But when you can get a T3 superlite with a finlite barrel and put a hitec stock on it for less than half the price ? And it shoots just as well if not better - hard to justify for the type of hunting I do.

    You are correct there, and that's the way I'll go as I already have a Tikka Superlight in .223.
    If I can't find a Sako carbon light.223.
