[QUOTE="flyguy1, post: 1929083, member: 92595"] Yeah, the "California" stock with the highly polished finish put a lot of us older guys off. A scratch on an oil-finished stock is kind of cool and easily remedied, but a scratch on varnish is, well, a scratch. Also, the "patrician" image of the wealthy owner compared to us mere mortals who shot Remingtons and Winchesters didn't help. Pretty laughable now as folks spend 10 grand on customs and 3 grand on a "so-so" scope. Having said that, one of my friends who goes to Africa frequently shoots them exclusively, with great outcomes; .257, .270, .340. [/QUOTE]
