    Well took the plunge and bought it...didn't think Terminator was going to give it up! Thanks Greg for all the help, keeping me informed on progress throughout, and securing a very special action. Look forward to posting pics of the completed project. Now to sell that S&B Zenith!!

    For the final price you are going to pay for your rifle, you could have gotten a Christensen . It is not a Bugatti but not far from a Ferrari :-)

    The way I see it you get what you want and will be happy with it,cost comes into it of course but you balance what is important to you vs cost.

    for instance I have never owned a Remington and I never will.

    True. Both seem to like changing owners.....................often.

    As far as the original topic, buy once, cry once (assuming you can afford to) sure as shit it will cost more than you wanted to spend but so what, life is like that.

    Have you compared a Stiller and Defiance side by side?
