I like the #1's, I have another one, seems to fit my build good. The other one I have is a international (full stock) in 30.06, its one of my favorite rifles to shoot. The Gray Laminate isn't that bad as you mention, I'll keep it this way for a bit, range test this weekend, go from there. Then we'll see how the new Brno with peep sights shoots, and if it does, it will stay a 375, if it doesn't, its going 404.
