I'd definitely like to see and handle one in walnut and blue. I'm sure I'd never find one in a local shop or gun show. Last I looked there was not many models available online either. Good luck.

I was just wondering if anyone else has one.
I bought mine as a barrelled action from Brownells a few years ago. 6.5 Grendel with the 20" heavy barrel.
Dropped it in a Bell and Carlson M40 stock. Talley lightweight 20 moa rings. Currently topped with a Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44.
The bottom metal is junk. It's plastic and will crack if you tighten the action screws to recommended spec.
I first replaced it with a DIP setup. It's aluminum and uses the factory magazines.
The magazines are another issue. In the Grendel and x39, they are 5 round but are the same length as the 223 10 round. There's a modification that can be done to make it a 4 round flush fit.
I've since changed that to an Oregunsmithing bottom metal that uses a hinged floor plate and blind magazine.

Wow! Big price increases since I last looked during the height of Cvid.

The only thing that hasn't gone up is my paycheck.
I think I paid around $300 for mine when I got it ~2017 or so. It was on sale, free shipping, and I had a 10% off code
