I believe what Steve was reffering to was Kirby's new line of rifles...
http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/new-raptor-hatching-50401/
Kirby also has this one fore sale in the classiifieds...
http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f25/christmas-sale-need-clean-out-safe-50089/index2.html
For an aluminum bedded stock, I would go with a B&C which IMO are just as good as the HS stocks for about $100 less.
As far as I know, McMillans dont have full aluminum beds but they can come with pillars. They cost more than B&C's and cant really comment on the comparative value.

I was referring to the one in the Christmas sale. I believe he is asking $2750 as is.

boy I surely do like that new action! May be changing my mind. AGAIN... but the caliber is definate! lol
on another not I realized I was refered to the wrong action in my previous posts, its not the diamondback its the predator by stiller.
I like that rifle in the for sale section... I think I want this rifle to be built from parts I specify though. I have only bought a couple things second hand... 1 truck, 2 atvs and a couple of old vehicles(like my 1980 cj5, 68 camaro and 46 chevy truck) Just something about being the first person to use something that I love! lol

I believe the only firing of that rifle was done by Kirby when he tested it. No more than if you had ordered it.
I understand what you are saying though. Wait for yours, or buy his.

The 300 RUM should serve you well. Be sure and get it in 1:8 twist and it'll serve you even better in the future.

Yup, that rifle is a bargain for the price and will no doubt be a great shooter. On top of that.... it's available now, not a year from now.

Jon, would that tight of twist be detrimental to velocity?

The barrel twist is one reason that rifle isnt very appealing to me... its a 1 in 12.

Here is his last post.
Got the 300 RUM in yesterday. This rifle is still brand new condition. The barrel break in was not even finished yet. I know this because I loaded up 25 rounds for the customer when he picked it up for the barrel break in and he brought them back with the rifle so the only rounds put through it were accuracy testing and thats it. I think I may have listed this rifle with a Jewell trigger, if so, that was a mistake, it has a Rifles Basix trigger, still a fine trigger, just not a jewell, wanted to make sure I made sure I was getting you the right information, also the barrel is roughly 28.5" in length. I think I listed it at 29" or 30".
Here are a couple pictures. I mounted one of my Leupold Mk4 4.5-14x 50mm on the rifle just because they look so much better with a scope mounted for pictures. You will notice that the rail base on the Lawton is very high compared to most. as such the scope appears to be very high mounted with its medium high NF rings and it is. This is an easy fix, just use low height rings and they work just great.
Again, first come first serve. This is a great rifle and for the asking price, if you wanted to get into a medium weight rifle that offered legit 1K reach, this would be very hard to beat. Again, its set up with a 1-8 twist Saturn 5S barrel so it will handle the big 240 gr SMK or aluminum tipped bullets but also works just as well with any SMK or Accubond bullet so your certainly not limited to using only the ultra heavy bullets.
