Check each No1 personally for fit and finish. My new 450-400 is nowhere near as tight as an older No1 I have at the moment. I am hoping it smooths up with use, but still won't be any tighter!

Of the three mentioned, I prefer the No1. But I really like the Soroko rifles (not having handled one though, but have heard good reports). Also the Hagn. Unfortunately none of which come in under $1000, unless you get really lucky!

Cheers, Chris
