Hmm, it looks interesting... but I just cant imagine it being all that great. To answer your question, no I havent seen one yet.

I love thumbhole stocks - but they do tend to be ''handed'' - at least ones I had used were.

I'd pretty much like to chop in my old original Mini for one of those - I am sure accuracy will have been way improved. Still like the basic platform.

I could be wrong (won't be the 1st time), but I'm pretty sure the show said it was good for you wrong- errrrrrr I mean you left-handed shooters.

SIXTO, Bass Pro has one (or they did yesterday) if you want to go handle one. Theirs had a normal stock on it though, although it was still in that goofy finish. So, the thumbhole stock is not required and you could just get a normal stock which people of the left handed variety could use.

I like my Ranch Rifle I have, and I am interested in one of these, but can't justify one right now. That sliding thingy on the barrel is kind of interesting.

Guns and Ammo also had a write up on it a few months back.

Maybe I'll head over to Bass Pro in the morning, I have the day off.
I'll give my full report if I do go.
