Good to hear you're going to take the plung, we like to have all the Hunter Class shooters we can get.
I just talked to Stiller tonight, and he said there should be a big batch done the end of Jan. And he has some on hand according to the Internet.
I will agree with Al on the crosshatching on the bottom of the Rattlers. It was to be on the early models only. It is not something I'd ask for. My good gun has it, but it doesn't seem to bother. I've had it in and out several times. The anodizing on the action will test RC70 and on the bolt is RC75. Should last for ever (long time). The actions are as smooth as any I've seen. ( I havn't got to play with a Bat.) Randy won't let me! Bolt clearance has always been good. Extraction is the best I've seen.
Boy this is starting to look like one of Randy's post!
I have three of Stiller's actions and I like them. If we could do something about the colors we would it made.
