John Henry said:Yeah, it's wild. But I think I just lost a little respect for the Benoits. I lived in vermont, and loved their story.
But this just makes them as Commercial as all the others out there. Diamond grade barrels? How does that help you track a deer?
I liked the traditional lore of the Benoits....now they're just another bunch of guys trying to sell stuff.

BUT almost $1500.00 to $3000.00 for some cosmetic changes is a little beyond making a living..
Linda cool though.I'm not a 7600 fan but I'd probably be interested in a 338-06 if they were closer to 1k and had nicer triggers.dce said:I looked but didn't see if the rifles have any time of upgrades like a better trigger and smoother ection.
Kinda taints the Benoit image..I seen a few pics where these guys are standing over deer with some of these "spaced out" 7600's and it takes away from the tough,rugged Benoit northwoods effect...If they made a simple Model 7600 carbine with , maybe, just Larry Benoits signature on it, or maybe just a note hand written by him included in the box, maybe I'd buy it.pumpgun said:those are some of the ugliest pumpguns i've ever seen. and who is going to pay those prices?
