When first introduced, Canada and USA were more than lucky to have these fine rifles for almost nothing (about 700.00 $ here in Canada).
At the time, there was two availlable trims; synthetic or standard wood.
Those who bought it at the time made a great deal, and they won't lose any money when they will depart from it.
The last imported (and made from remaining stock) batch in DeLuxe stock are now selling for almost 2 000.00 $ USD.

Then, came some "standard wood" and synthetic stocks (from the last batch, too);

The action is made on a very large bolt diameter for smooth operation. The barrels are interchangeable (but are getting harder to come by).
You can look at the finish for some kinks and peeling, but it must be OK.
Synthetic stocks are 9at least, were they a couple of months ago) availlable for bargain price.
If you can get it for less than 700.00 $ then take it. You won't be disapointed.
