Good rifles Byron
I think the laminate stock is a little heavier than regular wood but, not by much.
It's a nice looking thing and, the adjustable butt pad and cheek piece is useful - mine served me well.
I can't think of any negatives for it - I fitted an A&M cylinder to mine. It reduced the weight and increased the shot count from 4 mags to 6.
......... it was always an accurate, reliable rifle
