I enjoy mine quite a bit. Extremely accurate with a 250 gr Keith style bullet or 240 XTP's...nice power to weight ratio. A little rough on the web of the hand with full power loads, but nothing a grip switch to Pachmayr's when I want to shoot the heavy stuff can't fix.

For a price reference, I paid $599 new early last year. I've put something over 2500 rounds through it so far.....mostly downloaded target loads though. It's a keeper.
 
They were built on the leftover 4 screw frames of the Heritage series. It came with 2 sets of grips, the Hogues and the Ahrends finger grooved conversions. The supply of them was limited to the number of frames remaining to build them on. I paid $575 for mine when I got it early last year. I can't say much about how it shoots as I only fired a cylinder of specials thru it to function test. It's now on it's way to a new home.
