[QUOTE="Hicks, post: 460660, member: 9129"] Yes, agreed. I find that I'm attracted to beautiful guns, elegant and tasteful with little scrolling if any. I have a pristine Auto5 (built in 1937, complete with a CUTTS Comp) that has quite a bit of scrolling but retains that awesome deep Browning bluing. The CDL was certainly a beauty. I liked it so much that I decided to refinish the stock and plant another action in there, built around a 30" lilja factory contour bbl chambered in 8mm Remington Mag. That is perhaps my favorite sentimental cartridge. I'm going to try to match the satin CDL finish, and I have a set of really pretty rosewood grip cap and forend. Them I'm going to top it with a nice Zeiss Conquest I have. I called Berger over the 180 affair, and I can't remember the guy's name I talked to, but he said that Remington was famous for stating a twist rate, and having the actual twist vary quite a bit. That one was rated at I think 1 in 9.5 but he said that it could be more like 1 in 10. I never checked it. I got ****ed and I just gave up, pulled the bbl off, and started making plans to build a 338 Edge. Hicks [/QUOTE]
