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.
