Huh?
The stock and barrel are a $1000 upgrade for a $500 bill.

Have a boo for yourself. This is the model I have experience with in 264wm

The trigger they use is very nice as well.

Chuck, have you handled that stock? I have and there is no way in hell that t is worth that much more than a Bell & Carlson on the EW.

No, but I've had known quantities handle it and have seen copies of their dimensions. It's construction is the winner though.

As far as I know it is. My buddy got that one NIB for 1250ish off an AO member.

Don't get me wrong. I like them lots. I also like the stock better than a B & C, as it doesn't have that thick grip that many dislike, and it has a really grippy non-slip texture. But this thread is about best bang for your buck. I just don't think you can make an argument that it is worth almost 50% more than a Model 70. I had an Extreme Weather in 270 WSM. It shot lights out, and IMO, is the best value in a quality all-weather hunting rifle.

I've got a .307 Big Bore that'll do as good, and do it faster!  But still, once you put a scope on a trim little lever gun I find it becomes no more handy than a nice little bolt gun. Its a damned if you do/damned if you don't thing...it'll shoot better than I can with open sights, but putting on glass wrecks its nice handling and carrying features, which is the one thing I like best about levers. For me that makes them fun and useful but still a compromise. In a bolt gun I get usually better accuracy, better ballistics and arguably more reliability for few downsides. I won't ever sell mine, and will hopefully hunt and shoot them more later on down the road though.
