Despite the long description, they don’t mention the barrel length. Just eyeing it up, I thought it might be a short rifle. Gary – is it in your survey?

No, it’s not in the survey and appears to be a 22″ ELW with long wood. This would be one of the latest ELWs I’ve seen with a dovetailed front sight, but likely correct.

Did anyone else have the same reaction as me: “Where’s the box of sights??!!!!”
