PS I finally got my RBL and believe me there is no Turkey Gun I have seen to date can compare with it. I have been shooting it too much to take time to post pictures, but it is beautifull. I'll do it soon.

How about this one? Grade 4 Circassian Walnut, hand-fitted and hand checkered, the steel is hand engraved (it took six days, I'm told), Skeletonized and engraved butt-plate. $2,800, and received within 2 weeks of ordering. It's a custom-gun, but obviously it was in stock at the time of order/puchase...
Your RBL might - if you ordered exhibition - have nicer wood. But the machine engraving and laser checkering just isn't as nice as by hand. Yes, I have examined an RBL in person. In fact, that examination, along with CSMC's poor customer relations, was primarily responsible for cancelling my own RBL order and buying this gun.
