Yeah, that rifle is about as authentic as mexican food at Taco Bell. No matter how many times people say it's good mexican food, it really isnt. And my grandmother would slap me silly if she caught me eating there. Anyway, back to the subject, the Traditons rifle really is a nice production gun though. There aint too many production guns out there with barrels that long, plus the inlays, and the quality of the stock is excellent. There are a number of ways it could be improved though. Personally, I would replace the walnut with curly maple. But right out of the box, it is a nice gun. Price aint too bad either. The accuracy was ok as well.
