Hello palmer-good to hear you eventually got your hands on it.
I agree with your views.
The wood and engraving are surprisingly good for a base level rifle.
Also the fit of my rifle is very good-at 6'3" tall I realise I have never had a rifle that fits properly before.
Wood to metal finish is good without being perfect-but this is not a 150K rifle.
Only had one range session,just trying to work-out some loads over a chrony since I can't find IMR4831 that Butch uses so can't speak to true accuracy yet but all has worked perfectly so far.
At this point I would recommend Butch to anyone wanting a realistically priced hunting double.
