I like mine. Paid $1800 plus tax (new) at a local shop just about the day they got it (ES, SG). The fore end didn't fit quite right and the turn around time was about 48 hours. No other problems that I can find. Wood is nice, if not fancy. I had a recoil pad added to reach my dimensions and I'm pretty happy with it. It may be the only thing I have ever purchased that seems to be worth more than I paid for it (sadly, including the other kind of "stocks").
