Cabelas in Rapid City has one in the gun vault with 3 barrels. Can’t remember what they all were. Sure a fun gun to hunt and plink with.

Your correct in that they are nice in 308 I had one before I was 20 it was accurate and fun shot one deer with it but ended up selling it to My dad and he eventually sold it off as well. I sold it after having a nice buck at 60 yards and I had no rest on that side. count not hold steady or tell if my shot would break its leg blow out it's spend or hit it right. so let him walk. sold it the next day if not that day.
