That sounds like a nice package. The fluted bolt is unusual but the black factory fluted barrel (SS ??) is on the Varmint and Long Range Hunter models.

All of the variants listed above have a B&C stock (various colors) but none are really "limited editions". They are available in every Cabela's store for around $1,100 - a recent sale had every A7 variant in stock at $150 off list. A standard A7 in SS with the ST stock can be found for $800 new retail.
