I went for American for two reasons: (1) As Keith said above, it is an American gun and I wanted American wood; (2) You'll get a lot more bang for your buck with American wood, especially if it's upgraded. As Tony Galazan pointed out to me last year at Vegas, "exhibition" turkish for a RBL is not nearly the wood that would go into a $20,000 gun. But the American exhibition comes a lot closer.

John McCain is my war hero.
