Dixie884,
I bought both the rifle and carbine in steel big boys. I like the carbine better between the two but like them both. Prices were a little high when I got them because I couldn't wait but not crazy. You should be able to get them for around $700 now if you can find them.
I have shot them both, Chrono'd several loads. Federal American Eagle 100gr SP did 2,073 from the rifle, over 1900 from the 16.5" carbine.
Thanks,
