I put the RBL and my RizziniB in the same class of guns; well made production guns with good dynamics, nice lines and costing $2.5 - $3K. I don't have the RBL in hand so I'm hoping it fits in this class.

I see customer purchased NIB Rizzinis for sale too. Trying to figure out why a dozen or so of the first 700ish guns are for sale is going to be 10-20 different stories. The RBLs for sale seem to be selling.

The RBL issue I'm not cool with is the inconsistent grading of the wood. Eightbore's long term yearning for a standard issue RBL is irritating because he's fooking right. I didn't change my order to standard wood, but that has more to do with the CFO and annual gunbudget (Use it or lose it - if $700 was credited back it'd get wasted on groceries or kid's clothes) than gunbuying sense.
