After you led the charge on the first group order and did so much work, I was surprised you didn't get in on it.

Re the case colored reciever, I ordered mine that way, and should have it shortly. I got a note this weekend from Dale that the last three rifles are due in on 12/18, and he hopes to have them through customs by Friday. I will post pictures on AR when I get it.

When I inquired about CC, I was told that it was not available with engraving, and also that the old scroll engraving was not available (I really don't like their animal engraving). Recently, I have seen several people mention that neither is the case, but these comments have all referred to the RGEX. I don't know if the situation has changed or if the original comments referred only to the UGEX, which I ordered (with ejectors). I think the smooth action with CC will be attractive, and much to be preferred over the animal scenes, but if I were doing it again, I would likely be tempted to go with the RGEX if it meant I could get the scroll engraving and CC.
