L



from the Remington Custom Shop deal. There is no way that

> biathlon. It has adjustments for length of pull, cheek position,
> attachment points for harnesses and a lot more that Remington would
> leave out. Also the fortner action is faster and requires less
> repositioning of the hand after chambering a round.
