very snob like attitudes,i had a 458 lott it was glass bedded double cross bolts,action was smooth,but if you want to brag in camp about how much money you spent on your rifle please do this rifle is very functionable.you can engrave and gold plate a hammer but it still hits the nail no better than the arm that delivers the blow to the nail.wood was nice not fancy but nice.why is it if its not done in england its not done right.but like all else its your right to like what you want.
